title: Addition of arylboronic acids to arylpropargyl alcohols en route to indenes and quinolines.
abstract: A regio- and stereoselective rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of trisubstituted allylic alcohols is described. The utility of these synthons is demonstrated in a convenient synthesis of indenes and quinolines.
