Abstract

The synthesis of novel, highly functionalized, C 2-symmetric sulfur-based catalysts is developed and their catalytic applications are explored in asymmetric bromo-, iodo- and seleno-functionalizations of alkenoic acids. This protocol provides the corresponding normal- and medium-sized bromo, iodo and selenolactones in up to 98% yield and 83% stereoselectivity.
