A method for the catalytic, enantioselective, intramolecular 1,2-sulfenoamidation of alkenes is described. Lewis base activation of a suitable sulfur electrophile generates an enantioenriched, thiiranium ion intermediate from a β,γ-unsaturated sulfonyl carboxamide. This intermediate is subsequently intercepted by the sulfonamide nitrogen resulting in cyclization to form γ-lactams. Electron-poor alkenes required the use of a new selenophosphoramidate Lewis base catalyst. Subsequent manipulations ...[more]
