(matrix presented) C2-Symmetric bis(oxazoline)-Cu(II) complexes (4a-g) catalyze the enantioselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition between (silyl)ketenes and chelating carbonyl substrates. A range of substituted β-lactones can be produced in excellent yields and selectivities. It was also found that (trimethylsilyl)-ketene (1) may also undergo a highly selective hetero Diels-Alder reaction with β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters.
