In this paper, the first stereoselective annulation reaction between r-cyano-1,4-diketones and ynals, mediated by catalytic amounts of a triazolium salt precatalyst and cocatalytic amounts of a weak carboxylate base, is disclosed. The title transformation proceeds smoothly under mild reaction conditions and generates three contiguous stereogenic centers, one of which is a quaternary acetal carbon. This reaction tolerates a wide variety of electronically distinct substituents on both reaction partners and affords privileged bicyclic scaffolds in 61-90% isolated yields and with up to 20:1 diastereomeric preference.

This invention provides a convenient method for converting imines and other electrophiles into heterocyclic ring systems. The process does not require the use of metallic reagents, and is catalyzed by an organic heterocyclic carbene catalyst. Accordingly,
