Radical cyclizations (Bu(3)SnH, Et(3)B/air, rt) of racemic alpha-halo-ortho-alkenyl anilides provide 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-ones in high yield. Cyclizations of enantioenriched precursors occur in similarly high yields and with transfer of axial chirality to the new stereocenter of the products with exceptionally high fidelity (often >95%). Single and tandem cyclizations of alpha-halo-ortho-alkenyl anilides bearing an additional substituent on the alpha-carbon occur with high chirality transfer an ...[more]
