An efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of N-(2-pyridylmethyl) imines has been developed. In the presence of a Cu(CH3CN)(4)PF6/bisoxazoline catalyst system, high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) and moderate to high exo selectivity were achieved with a wide variety of substituted dipolarophiles, including maleimides, fumarates, fumarodinitrile, enones, and nitroalkenes. The reaction with unsymmetrically substituted dipolarophiles is completely regioselective.
