Herein, we describe the first catalytic asymmetric intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of in situ generated ortho-quinone methides. In the presence of a confined chiral imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst, various salicylaldehydes react with dienyl alcohols to give transient ortho-quinone methide intermediates, which undergo an intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition to provide highly functionalized furanochromanes and pyranochromanes in excellent diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity.
