title: Highly accelerating effect of lewis acids on ruthenium(II)-catalyzed radical addition reactions.
abstract: The intramolecular ruthenium(II)-catalyzed radical addition of the trichloroacetyl pendant group to the 2-oxazolone skeleton is greatly enhanced in the presence of catalytic Lewis acids including rare earth metal triflates, thus providing a convenient route to a highly potential chiral synthon for vic-amino alcohols.
