Significance

This is an example of a very efficient synthesis of chiral N-arylsuccinimides with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Authors have shown that their catalytic system is applicable to other groups of compounds (ferrocobenzoqui­nones) with the same efficiency. The usefulness of the chiral succinimides obtained is described by several examples of highly stereoselective transformation.
