Abstract

A novel family of urea-derived chiral iodoarenes was designed and synthesized for use in enantioselective iodine(I/III) catalysis. Their preparation required the development of a bidirectional synthetic strategy. These new chiral iodoarenes were assessed as catalysts in the dearomatizing cyclization of a naphthyl amide and provided moderate yields of product in some cases with low enantioselectivities.
