Carbometalation of oxazolidinone (<b>Ox</b>)-substituted ynamides is used to generate highly substituted <b>Ox</b>-divinyl (and aryl vinyl) ketones for use in Nazarov cyclizations. The <b>Ox</b>-group serves as a remarkably effective chiral activating group, enabling the torquoselective Nazarov cyclization of these sterically congested substrates to be performed under mild conditions. It also serves as a charge-stabilizing group in the intermediate oxyallyl cation, suppressing undesired [1,2]-si ...[more]
