title: A catalytic asymmetric protocol for the enantioselective synthesis of 3(2H)-furanones.
abstract: 3(2H)-Furanones can be prepared by a catalytic asymmetric protocol from enynones, which, if electron-rich, require only one reagent and involve two reactions in a single operation--a domino process.
