We developed a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine imines with terminalalkynes catalyzed by group 11 metal amides to provide N,N-bicyclic pyrazolidinone derivatives. This reaction afforded the cycloadducts in a unique 5,7-disubstituted manner. Furthermore, we succeeded in applying this catalysis to asymmetricreactions, and the desired heterocycles were produced in high yields with exclusive
