An enantioselective Bronsted acid-catalyzed N-acyliminium cyclization cascade of tryptamines with enol lactones to form architecturally complex heterocycles in high enantiomeric excess has been developed. The reaction is technically simple to perform as well as atom-efficient and may be coupled to a gold(1)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of alkynoic acids whereby the key enol lactone reaction partner is generated in situ. Employing up to 10 mol% bulky chiral phosphoric acid catalysts in boiling toluene allowed the product materials to be generated in good overall yields (63-99%) and high enantioselectivities (72-99% ee). With doubly substituted enol lactones, high diastereo- and enantioselectivities were obtained, thus providing a new example of a dynamic kinetic asymmetric cyclization reaction.

An enantioselective vinylogous umpolung addition of deconjugated butenolides to allenoates has been developed for the first time with the help of synergistic combination of an achiral phosphine and a chiral squaramide, and represents the first example of a catalytic enantioselective Cγ–Cγ bond formation between two different carbonyl partners.

A new and useful synthesis of a title compounds is reported. They can be obtained easily by photocyclization of enedicarbonylcompounds 3 and 4. A different behaviour, ascribed to the geometry of a double bond, is observed; 3 are converted only to butenolides 5, while trans-isomers 4 are converted into alkyl-furyl-ketones 5 and 6. A possible mechanism is described.
