Iridium‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Asymmetric Allylic Dearomatization Reaction of Benzoxazoles,Benzothiazoles, and Benzimidazoles |
| |
Abstract: | An iridium‐catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric allylic dearomatization reaction of benzoxazoles, benzothiazoles, and benzimidazoles was developed. The reaction was found to be compatible with a wide range of five‐membered‐ring electron‐deficient heteroaromatic compounds and furnished the corresponding dearomatized heterocycles in high yield with excellent enantioselectivity. |
