Mechanistic investigations into the enantioselective Conia-ene reaction catalyzed by cinchona-derived amino urea pre-catalysts and Cu(I).

The enantioselective Conia-ene cyclization of alkyne-tethered β-ketoesters is efficiently catalyzed by the combination of cinchona-derived amino-urea pre-catalysts and copper(I) salts. The reaction scope is broad and a series of substrates can be efficiently cyclized with high yields and enantiosele...
