Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Spirobicyclic structures are versatile building blocks for functional chiral molecules. An enantioselective synthesis of chiral spirobilactams via a copper‐catalyzed double N‐arylation was developed. Amplification of solution <italic>ee</italic> by in situ precipitation of the racemate was observed with this method and enantioenriched spirobilactams were obtained with excellent <italic>ee</italic> values through simple solid–solution phase separation.</p> </abstract>
