Enantioselective intramolecular iodoetherification of disubstituted γ-hydroxyalkenes has been intended using NIS in the presence of 0.2 equivalents of (R)-Binol-Ti(IV) complex to procure the corresponding tetrahydrofurans in up to 65% ee.

The previously developed enantioselective iodocyclization of γ-hydroxy-cis-alkenes required 30 mol% of (R,R)-salen-CoII complex as chiral catalyst and 0.75 equivalent of N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as activator to produce 2-substituted tetrahydrofurans with 61 to 90% ee. Due to the considerable loading amount of the CoII complex, another more effective catalyst was pursued by screening (R,R)-salentransition metal complexes. When 10 mol % of the catalysts were applied with 0.5 equivalent of NCS, a higher level of stereoselectivity was attained with the corresponding CrIIICl (84% ee), MnIICl (52% ee) and CoII complexes (66% ee). Refinement of the conditions established a novel catalytic enantioselective iodocyclization protocol using iodine in the presence of 7 mol% of (R,R)-salen-CrIIICl complex activated by 0.7 equivalent of NCS in toluene to induce 74 to 93 % ee.
