title: Unprecedented synergistic effects between weak Lewis and Brønsted acids in Prins cyclization.
abstract: Novel synergistic effects between Lewis and Brønsted acids in Prins cyclization are reported. Non-reactive Lewis acids and non-reactive Brønsted acids, which failed to perform Prins cyclization when used alone, have shown remarkable synergistic effects when used in combination to perform the reaction successfully.
