Abstract: A novel 1, 3-trans asymmetric induction has been observed for the halolactonization of a-and a,@-substituted*/, &unsaturated amides. The 1, 3-trans selectivity is lost in the threo diastereomers of amides with a,% OH or@-OAc substituent, due to the 1, 2& directing ability of these substituents.
