✦ Synopsis


An approach to stereoselective formal [3+3] cycloaddition reaction using chiral cycloalkylidene a,b-unsaturated iminiums is described here leading to preparations of spiroheterocycles in modest stereoselectivity. The reversibility of 6p-electron electrocyclic ring closure did not always lead to the thermodynamically more favored product. These observations led to other useful mechanistic understanding of electrocyclic ring closure of 1-oxatrienes.
