A novel phosphine-catalyzed (4 + 2) cyclization reaction has been reported for the generation of functionalized dihydropyran skeletons from electron-deficient conjugated dienes and enones. Mechanistic investigation reveals the formation of a new phosphonium zwitterion, which undergoes consecutive reactions. An asymmetric variant has also been developed through efficient and economical chiral phosphine catalysis.
