title: Catalytic Enantioselective Aza-Piancatelli Rearrangement.
abstract: An efficient organocatalytic enantioselective aza-Piancatelli rearrangement is disclosed. The powerful process provides rapid access to valuable chiral 4-amino-2-cyclopentenone building blocks from readily available 2-furfurylcarbinols with excellent chemo-, enantio-, and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions.
