An intramolecular (4+3) cycloaddition of epoxy and aziridinyl enolsilanes with benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene derivatives is reported. Highly functionalized polycyclic alcohols and amines are generated under relatively mild reaction conditions with yields up to 89 %. Optically enriched cycloadducts are obtained from cycloadditions of enantiomerically pure epoxides and aziridines.
