An enantioselective [3 + 2] annulation of donor-acceptor aziridines with aldehydes has been realized using a Nd(OTf)<sub>3</sub>/<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>'-dioxide/LiNTf<sub>2</sub> catalyst system, providing various chiral <i>cis</i>-1,3-oxazolidines in moderate to good yields with high levels of stereocontrol. A relay catalytic process is proposed where LiNTf<sub>2</sub> promotes the formation of azomethine ylide intermediates, and a chiral Nd(iii)-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>'-dioxide complex accelerates the as ...[more]
