In a recent publication in Nature , Tambar and coworkers have reported a Lewis-acid-assisted Bronsted-acid-catalyzed asymmetric hetero-ene reaction that proceeds from internal alkenes with excellent enantio-, regio-, and E -olefin selectivity. Key to the success is the use of a sulfurimide enophile. Derivatization of the ene products affords various allylic compounds.
