A Ni–Al bimetallic catalyzed enantioselective cycloaddition reaction of cyclopropyl carboxamides with alkynes has been developed. A series of cyclopentenyl carboxamides were obtained in up to 99% yield and 94% ee. The bifunctional-ligand-enabled bimetallic catalysis proved to be an efficient strategy for the C–C bond cleavage of unreactive cyclopropanes.
