Significance

An organocatalytic asymmetric all-carbon-based inverse electron-demand Diels-­Alder reaction (IEDDA) of electron-deficient dienes 1 and crotonaldehyde 2 is reported. The dien­amine 5 generated in situ from crotonalydehyde and amine catalyst 3 acts as the dienophile and excellent β,γ-regioselectivities were observed. The corresponding cycloaddition products 4, highly functionalized cyclohexenes, are obtained in good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Some further synthetic transformations of these cycloadducts were also explored.
