Enantioselective iridium catalyzed internal redox allylation of phthalaldehyde 1a using substituted allylic acetates 2bā2j to form phthalides 3gā3o.a
Yields are of material isolated by silica gel chromatography. Enantioselectivities were determined by chiral stationary phase HPLC analysis. See Supporting Information for further experimental details.
