An efficient diastereo- and enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of heterosubstituted alkenes with oxiranes via selective C–C bond cleavage of epoxides has been developed. The reaction was catalyzed by a chiral N,N′-dioxide/Ni(II) catalyst, and a variety of chiral highly substituted tetrahydrofurans were obtained in up to 99% yield, 92/8 dr, and 99% ee.
