Evidence is described here to support that a highly stereoselective 6pi-electron electrocyclic ring closure of 1-azatrienes is a key step in formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition or annulation reactions of chiral vinylogous amides with alpha,beta-unsaturated iminium salts. This would represent the first highly stereoselective 6pi-electron electrocyclic ring closure of 1-azatrienes. We have also unambiguously demonstrated that these specific ring closures are reversible, leading to the major diastereomer that is also thermodynamically more stable, and that a rotation preference likely also plays a role. A synthetic application is illustrated here to stereoselectively transform the resulting dihydropyridines to cis-1-azadecalins with unique anti relative stereochemistry at C2 and C2a, leading to synthesis of epi isomers of (-)-pumiliotoxin C.
