title: Construction of α-amido-indanones via formal allenamide hydroacylation-Nazarov cyclization.
abstract: A two-step modular synthesis of an α-hydroxycyclopentenone and α-amido-indanones has been developed based on the Nazarov cyclization of 2-amido-1,4-pentadien-3-ones, readily accessed via formal hydroacylation of allenamides.
