title: Asymmetric 5-endo chloroetherification of homoallylic alcohols toward the synthesis of chiral β-chlorotetrahydrofurans.
abstract: An asymmetric 5-endo chloroetherification of homoallylic alcohols is successfully developed that employs an easily available quaternary ammonium salt derived from cinchonine as a conventional organocatalyst. This approach provides ready access to β-chlorotetrahydrofurans in high enantioselectivities.
