title: ZnCl2-catalyzed chemoselective cascade reactions of enaminones with 2-furylcarbinols: a versatile process for the synthesis of cyclopenta[b]pyrrole derivatives.
abstract: A highly efficient ZnCl2-catalyzed cascade reaction of enaminones with 2-furylcarbinols under mild reaction conditions has been developed. This methodology offers a chemo- and diastereo-selective access to functionalized cyclopenta[b]pyrrole derivatives in good to excellent yields.
