Highly enantioselective [3+3] annulation reactions of bromoenals and 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds are reported. In addition, both enantiomers of the resultant dihydropyranone could be easily obtained by choosing N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with the same stereocenter but different substituents under the optimized reaction conditions.

mediated by N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) enables the direct β‐carbon functionalization of saturated aldehydes (see scheme). The reaction proceeds through two sequential oxidative steps to generate α,β‐unsaturated triazolium ester equivalents as formal Michael acceptors, which react with 1,3‐diketones and β‐ketone esters in an enantioselective manner.
