title: Rhodium-catalyzed olefin isomerization/enantioselective intramolecular Alder-ene reaction cascade.
abstract: The olefin isomerization/enantioselective intramolecular Alder-ene reaction cascade was achieved by using a cationic rhodium(I)/(R)-BINAP complex as a catalyst. A variety of substituted dihydrobenzofurans and dihydronaphthofurans were obtained from phenol- or naphthol-linked 1,7-enynes, respectively, with good yields and ee values.
