	abstract = {<p>A new method of CuCN-mediated one-pot cyclization of 4-(2-bromophenyl)-2-butenoates leading to efficient synthesis of substituted naphthalene amino esters including phenanthrene aromatic structural units is described. Deuterium labeling studies establish that this one-pot cascade cyclization proceeds through isomerization of olefin, intramolecular C-C bond cyclization, and aromatization as the key intermediates, all occurring in a single step.</p>},

The Co-catalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a two-stereocentered racemic azido epoxide followed by asymmetric dihydroxylation of the alkene and {\textquoteright}one pot{\textquoteright} reductive cyclisation of the azido diol are key reactions in the synthetic sequence.
