The vinylsulfonamides 3 of the furan-containing N-benzylamines 2 cyclize at room temperature to give the δ-sultams 4 with high diastereoselectivity. For the vinylsulfonamides 6 featuring a three atom tether connecting the furan and the dienophile moieties, the equilibrium between 6 and the γ-sultam 7 is largely shifted towards 7 for N-benzyl substituted 6c in refluxing toluene.
