Diels-Alder reactions of cyclic isoimidium salts are described. The corresponding cycloadducts are obtained with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The use of homochiral cyclic isoimidium salts delivers cycloadducts with excellent diastereoselectivity (>99:1) that can be efficiently converted to enantiomerically pure lactones.

The regiospecific [2 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclic isoimidium salts with ynamides is described. This effort led to the development of the first successful example of a catalyst-free, thermally driven Ficini [2 + 2] cycloaddition process of ynamides with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, giving the stable cyclobutenamides in excellent yields (up to 99%).
