Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
17 O 18 19 hetero atoms are bonded to the same cyclopentene. This interesting chemical transposition is made possible because the release of enolate anion 17 triggers transannular aldolization and generation of 18. In turn, the proximity factors that now develop allow for reintroduction of a cyclic carbamate moiety. Acknowledgment.
