β¦ Synopsis
Lewis base catalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between Ξ±,Ξ²-unsaturated acyl fluorides and N-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]amino ethers has been achieved using 1 mol% DMAP. Competition experiments and (19)F-NMR studies indicate that the cycloaddition occurs preferentially between the Ξ±,Ξ²-unsaturated acyl fluoride and the unstabilised azomethine ylide. In addition, an enantioselective variant, using chiral isothiourea catalysts, has been achieved with 14% ee.

## Abstract Azomethine ylides generated from 5β(alkoxycarbonylmethyl)phenanthridinium cations were studied in 1,3βdipolar cycloadditions with dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate as dipolarophiles. The cycloadducts with the pyrrolidino[1,2βf]phenanthridine skeleton easily underwent dehydrogenatio
