The success of surgery to remove primary tumors can be compromised by the subsequent outgrowth of metastases. It is recognized that primary tumors secrete antiangiogenic factors that suppress the outgrowth of their daughter metastases. In accord we show here that

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of 2-pyrrolidinones with a quaternary stereocenter at the 3-position has been achieved by the reaction of γ-methylidene-δ-valerolactones with alkyl isocyanates. High enantioselectivity has been realized by employing a newly synthesized chiral phosphoramidite ligand.
