A chiral N,N′-dioxide/Ni(OTf)2 complex-catalyzed asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with 2,3-dioxopyrrolidines and 2-alkenoyl pyridines has been achieved. The corresponding chiral bridged compounds were obtained in high yields with excellent dr and ee values (up to 97% yield, 95 : 5 dr and 97% ee).
