Significance
The authors report a unique organocatalytic enantioselective chlorolactonization reaction of alkenoic acid 1 using the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation ligand (DHQD)2PHAL as the catalyst and 1,3-dichloro-5,5-diphenylhydantoin (3c) as chlorine source. In the presence of 10 mol% of catalyst, different 4-substituted pentenoic acids were cyclized in good yields and high enantioselectivities (er up to 95:5). Both the benzoic acid additive and CHCl3-hexane solvent system showed a beneficial effect on the stereoselectivity. The increase of the steric demand of the C5-substituent of hydantoin (3a-c) resulted in improved enantioselectivity.
