title: Asymmetric [3 + 2] annulations catalyzed by a planar-chiral derivative of DMAP.
abstract: A planar-chiral DMAP derivative catalyzes an intriguing [3 + 2] annulation reaction of silylated indenes to produce diquinanes that bear three contiguous stereocenters (one quaternary and two tertiary).
