    Abstract:
    An efficient and highly enantioselective Conia-ene-type process has been developed. Reactions are catalyzed by a combination of B(C6F5)3, an N-alkylamine and a BOX-ZnI2 complex. Specifically, through cooperative action of B(C6F5)3 and amine, ketones with poorly acidic α-C-H bonds can be converted in situ to the corresponding enolates. Subsequent enantioselective cyclization involving a BOX-ZnI2-activated alkyne leads to the formation of various cyclopentenes in up to 99% yield and 99:1 er.
