A quinine-catalyzed reaction of yne–allenone esters with nitrones worked well and provided a convergent and regioselective pathway to access these three-dimensional scaffolds from the planar conjugated system. Density functional theory(DFT) calculations have been applied to understand the key process for forming diradical intermediates.展开更多
