Recent synthetic advances have turned ynamides into broadly available substrates whose reactivity can be finely tuned.[1] In particular, the cross-coupling of amides with alkynyl bromides gives broad access to widely substituted ynamides.[2] Thus, the last few years have witnessed a surge of their use as nitrogen-containing building blocks in organic chemistry that undergo addition at the α or β positions, oxidative or reductive coupling, oxidation, ring-closing metathesis, cycloisomerization, and cycloaddition reactions.[1] Although a vast number of new transformations have been reported, stereoselective reactions with ynamides, and in particular enantioselective ones, are still rare.[3] A straightforward application of ynamides is the Ficini reaction, whose original version is a thermally driven, stepwise [2+ 2] cycloaddition of an ynamine with a cyclic enone (Scheme 1).[4]The advantage of using ynamides in the Ficini reaction instead on ynamines is that the electron-withdrawing group decreases the reactivity of the triple bond. This decrease in reactivity inhibits the thermal reaction and allows for a catalytic approach, and in particular for enantioselective reactions. Despite this being a straightforward development, the first example of a catalytic reaction of ynamides with enones was reported only very recently.[5] The performance of these combined AgI/CuII catalysts is modest, though, and an ynamide bearing a chiral auxiliary on the nitrogen atom gave 1: 1 diastereomeric mixture. In general,[2+ 2] cycloaddition reactions with ynamides are rare, and chiral auxiliaries on the
