Chiral triaryl phosphates promote the enantioselective iodolactonization of 4‐substituted 4‐pentenoic acids to give the corresponding iodolactones in high yields with high enantioselectivity. N ‐Chlorophthalimide (NCP) is employed as a Lewis acidic activator and oxidant of I 2 for the present iodolactonization. In combination with 1.5 equivalents of NCP, only 0.5 equivalents of I 2 are sufficient to generate the iodinating reagent.
