Copper(I) complexes catalyze the intramolecular addition of N-chloramines to carbon-carbon double bonds under neutral conditions, a reaction that proceeds via a metal complexed aminyl radical. A high diastereoselectivity is obtained in the cyclization step due to the sterically demanding copper complex.
