An efficient and facile protocol for the synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically important phthalimides is developed by l-proline-catalyzed reaction between two dienophiles of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and maleimides. The reaction involves an efficient benzannulation that proceeds via a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition of azadiene intermediates generated in situ from enals and N-substituted maleimides
