This transformation is the converse of the much more well-known tandem vicinal difunctionalization reactions of unsaturated carbonyl systems wherein addition of a nucleophile generates an enolate that is then intercepted by an electrophile.

A type 2 intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction pathway is not operative because it can only afford the product with an N-acyliminium ion trans to the furyl substituent upon ring opening of the strained cycloadduct.
