title: A two-step reaction sequence for the syntheses of tetrahydronaphthalenes.
abstract: [Reaction: see text] A cobalt(I)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of a boron-functionalized enyne is the key step in a two-step reaction cascade interconnecting four simple starting materials to obtain polycyclic multifunctionalized products in good yields and with a very high degree of diastereoselectivity.
