The first intramolecular [4 + 3] cycloaddition reaction using nitrogen-stabilized chiral oxyallyl cations that are tethered to furan or diene through the nitrogen atom is described here. Formation of these nitrogen-stabilized chiral oxyallyl cations is achieved by a chemoselective epoxidation of chiral allenamides via syringe pump addition of dimethyl dioxirane. The ensuing cycloaddition can be carried out with a range of different lengths for the tether, and high diastereoselectivities can be obtained when using chiral allenamides with shorter tethers.
