45. Isoquinuclidines have been obtained as products in Lewis acid catalyzed reactions and as a by-product in the Lewis base catalyzed Baylis-Hillman reaction of cyclohexenone with aldimines: a) G. Babu, P. T. Perumal, Tetrahedron 1998, 54, 1627;
46. b) M. Shi, Y.-M. Xu, Chem. Commun. 2001, 1876.
47. Recently, a direct aza-Diels-Alder reaction by covalent aminocatalysis was reported: H. Sunden, I. Ibrahem, L. Eriksson, A. Cordova, Angew. Chem. 2005, 117, 4955;
48. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 4877.
49. A small shift of the keto-enol equilibrium is sufficient for a reaction, as the formed dienol will be extracted directly from the equilibrium. Other cyclic enones such as cyclopentenone showed no reactivity under these conditions.
50. A large number of chiral Brønsted acids were tested. Table 1 shows only the general trend of reactivity.
51. The use of other binol phosphates, other chlorinated and aromatic solvents, aliphatic aldimines, as well as the variation of catalyst loading and enone concentration resulted in inferior enantioselectivities.
52. The X-ray crystal structure of the exo product is shown in the Supporting Information.
53. Examples of such a stepwise addition-cyclization mechanism have been reported earlier for the reaction of silylenol ethers with aldimines: a) T. N. Birkinshaw, A. B. Tabor, A. B. Holmes, P. R. Raithby, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1988, 1601;

56. The rate-determining step of the reaction is presumably the dienol formation, as no considerable conversion was observed without the addition of Brønsted acid 2.
