Three cation-π cyclization cascades initiated at alkylidene β-ketoesters bearing pendent alkenes are described. Depending upon the alkene substitution pattern and the reaction conditions employed, it is possible to achieve selective synthesis of the three different types of products, including 1-halo-3-carbomethoxycyclohexanes, spiro-fused tricyclic systems, and [4.3.1] bridged bicyclic ring systems. All three reactions begin with 6-endo addition of an olefin to the alkylidene β-ketoester electrophile, followed by one of three different cation capture events.
