We herein report the use of ethyl but-3-ynoate as a C2 building block for asymmetric (4+2)-heterocycloadditions with various Michael acceptors. Upon using chiral isochalcogenoureas as Lewis base catalysts, these reactions can be carried out with good to excellent control of the regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity.
