Natural selection: The copper-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective sequential reactions of propargylic acetates with (E)-2,4-pentadienylamine give the corresponding 1,2-disubstituted tetrahydroisoindoles in high yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities, in which only a single copper works as a catalyst to promote both steps: the propargylic amination and intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition.
