Hydroxylactams prepared from N-carbonyl phthalimides and β-amido functionalized allylboronates underwent ring opening-asymmetric reclosure in the presence of catalytic amounts of MgBr2 and a chiral aminophenol to afford the corresponding N,O-spirocyclic compounds in excellent yields and high enantioselectivities.
