title: Catalytic intermolecular carbon electrophile induced semipinacol rearrangement.
abstract: A catalytic intermolecular carbon electrophile induced semipinacol rearrangement was realized and the asymmetric version was also preliminarily accomplished with 92% and 82% ee. The complex tricyclic system architecture with four continuous stereogenic centers could be achieved from simple starting materials in a single step under mild conditions.
