Transition state models for the chirality transfer are suggested. Chemoselectivity of the radical cyclization in favor of the iodine in the case of 2-iodo-6-bromo-N-allylacrylamides has been exploited for the synthesis of chiral pyrroloquinolinones by a one-pot sequence of 5-exo and 6-endo cyclizations. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
