A highly enantioselective [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction of 2,3-dihydrofuran with 1,4-benzoquinones using a chiral oxazaborolidinium triflimidate as catalyst has been developed which allows rapid access to a variety of chiral phenolic tricycles (enantiomeric excesses ranging from 91 to 98%). The utility of this new methodology is demonstrated by a shortsynthesis of the important pentacyclic natural
