The first asymmetricchiral N-triflylphosphoramide-catalyzed ionic [2+4] cycloaddition reaction of unsaturated acetals is described. This reaction proceeds through the intermediacy of a vinyl oxocarbenium/chiral anion pair, and the chiral N-triflylphosphoramide anion controls the stereoselectivity of the cycloaddition step. Moderate enantioselectivities (up to 80:20 e.r.) have been obtained when α
