title: Enantioselective organocatalytic C-H bond functionalization via tandem 1,5-hydride transfer/ring closure: asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines.
abstract: The first organocatalytic enantioselective intramolecular 1,5-hydride transfer/ring closure reaction is described. This redox neutral reaction cascade allows for the efficient formation of ring-fused tetrahydroquinolines in high enantioselectivities.
