4H-Pyran units are frequently present in molecules with significant biological and pharmaceutical activities. Herein, we present the first enantioselective formal [3+3] cycloaddition between 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones and β-keto esters catalyzed by a cyclohexyldiamine-based thiourea-tertiary amine bifunctional catalyst. Under the mild and eco-friendly conditions, a wide range of polysubstituted 4H-pyrans were obtained in moderate yields with good enantioselectivities.
