Abstract

An asymmetric Torgov cyclization, catalyzed by a novel, highly Brønsted acidic dinitro-substituted disulfonimide, is described. The reaction delivers the Torgov diene and various analogues with excellent yields and enantioselectivity. This method was applied in a very short synthesis of (+)-estrone.
