(Chemical Equation Presented) Getting cross: Excellent asymmetric inductions and very good yields are achieved in the generation of a quaternary stereocenter in α-hydroxy-substituted tetralones by using chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts in an enantioselective intramolecular crossed-benzoin reaction. The synthesis of the corresponding α-hydroxyindanones with good ee values is also possible by this route.

Asymmetric induction in the 5-endo-trig radical cyclization of N-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)-α-haloacetamides has been examined. α-Iodo amide 7 bearing an (S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl group on the nitrogen afforded a 92:8 mixture of bicyclic lactams 9a,b, which was transformed into 3aR,7aR)-octahydroindol-2-one 10a in 77% ee. α-Bromo amide 11 bearing an N-(R)-1-phenethyl group provided a 61:39 mixture of 13a,b. The major product 13a was then transformed into enantiomerically pure (1S,5S)-2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one 15.
