In the same year, the group of Yu and Deng reported the first asymmetric 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides 23 with α‐alkylidene succinimides 24 to obtain dispiropyrrolidine derivatives 25 in good yields (up to 90%) and high stereoselectivities (>20 : 1 dr and 87–96% ee) (Scheme 3.3) [11]. The methodology uses catalytic amounts of chiral N,O‐ligand 26 in the presence of Cu(OAc)2 to impart high stereocontrol over the [3+2] cyclization process. The catalytic system was also applied for the synthesis of pyrrolidinyl‐spirooxindole skeletons with excellent diastereo‐ and enantiocontrol.
Later on, the authors extended the application of their catalytic system (using a different ligand) to the 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to 5‐alkylidene thiazolidine‐2,4‐diones for the synthesis of spirocyclic pyrrolidine‐thiazolidinediones [12].
Shortly after, Feng, Liu, and coworkers reported that a combination of Mg(OTf)2 and the chiral N,N′‐dioxide ligand 34 is a highly effective catalytic system for the asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of methyleneindolinones 1 with N,N′‐cyclic azomethine imines 35 to produce pyrazolidine‐based spirooxindoles 36 [13]. This strategy allows the construction of valuable contiguous tertiary and quaternary stereocenters (Scheme 3.4).

A weak positive nonlinear effect was observed between the enantiomeric excess of the product 36 and the chiral ligand 34. Hence, the authors suggest the presence of both monomeric and oligomeric catalytic species in the reaction medium, with the monomeric complex being more active. Subsequently, an asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of methyleneindolinones with nitrones was also reported by the same authors using the combination of chiral N,N′‐dioxide ligand and Co(BF4)2·H2O to synthesize spirooxindole derivatives in good yield and excellent diastereo‐ and enantiocontrol [14].
In 2016, Cramer and coworkers reported the [3+2] annulation between alkynes 47 and cyclic sulfonimines 46 catalyzed by a chiral Rh complex for the synthesis of spirocyclic sultams 44 (Scheme 3.5) [15]. The methodology involves the use of a chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand 45. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the enantioenriched sultams are obtained in good to excellent yields (50–99%) and enantioselectivites (75–90%). The proposed catalytic cycle is initiated by the C–H activation of the sulfonimine 46, which is directed by the N‐sulfonyl imino group, to generate the rhodacycle 48. Alkyne migratory insertion of intermediate 48 followed by the addition to the imine bond generates the spiro compound 44. Low regioselectivities were observed in the case of unsymmetrical aryl alkynes 47. This is the major limitation of this process.

In the same year, the group of Zhao reported the asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of p‐quinone methides 54 with vinyl cyclopronanes 55 and epoxides 56 (Scheme 3.6) [16]. The reaction proceeds through a 1,6‐conjugate addition of Pd‐activated vinyl cyclopronanes 55 and epoxides 56 to p‐quinone methides 54 followed by the annulation event. Ferrocene‐based chiral phosphine 57 was the ligand of choice for the annulations of epoxides, while chiral spiro phosphene 58 was found to be optimal in the case of vinyl cyclopropanes, obtaining in both the cases the products 61‐65 in good to high yields (71–98%) and excellent stereocontrol (3 : 1–>20 : 1 dr and 51–99% ee).

In 2018, the group of Enders established the first Cu‐catalyzed enantioselective Kinugasa/Michael domino reaction for the synthesis of spirocyclic β‐lactams 66 by desymmetrization of prochiral cyclohexadienone 67 with nitrones 68 (Scheme 3.7) [17]. Cu(OTf)2 and indane‐BOX ligand 69 was found to be the optimal catalytic system for the reaction. Mechanistically, the reaction starts with the formation of Cu‐acetylide intermediate 70 which underwent [3+2] cycloaddition with nitrones 68 to form Cu‐bound isoxazoline intermediate 71. A rearrangement of the intermediate 71 affords the tethered four‐membered copper enolate intermediate 72, which subsequently participates in desymmetric Michael addition to afford the spirocyclic β‐lactams 66 in a highly enantio‐ and diastereoselective fashion (>20 : 1 dr and 82–96% ee).
