Significance
A catalytic asymmetric addition of dihydropyrans to N-acyl imines is reported. The authors found, that the chiral phosphoric acid TRIP efficiently promoted the reaction between N-acyl imines and dihydropyrans to give the addition products rather than the as well imaginable [4+2] cycloaddition. With a catalyst loading of 2 mol% the desired addition products were obtained in high yields and good enantioselectivities. Furthermore, the authors submitted some of their products to an MCPA-promoted oxidative cyclization furnishing spirocyclic tetrahydropyrans bearing a quaternary stereocenter with perfect internal stereocontrol.
