title: Olefins turned alkylating agents: diastereoselective intramolecular Zr-catalyzed olefin alkylations.
abstract: The first examples of intramolecular Zr-catalyzed electrophilic alkylation of aryl olefins are disclosed. Substituted carbo- and heterocycles are prepared efficiently and diastereoselectively.
