title: Catalytic enantioselective Meerwein-Eschenmoser Claisen rearrangement: asymmetric synthesis of allyl oxindoles.
abstract: The first catalytic, enantioselective Meerwein-Eschenmoser Claisen rearrangement has been achieved. Palladium(II) BINAP or phosphinooxazoline catalysts were employed to generate oxindole products with 100% conversion and up to 92% ee.
