been the poor relation of its oxygen counterpart. We demonstrate that on-watercatalysis facilitates the rearrangement of reverse N-prenylated naphthylamines and anilines, and transforms the aromatic aza-Claisen rearrangement into a synthetically viable reaction. We use this reaction to probe the mechanism of on-watercatalysis, and provide compelling support for the acid-catalysis hypothesis.
