β‐Trifluoromethyl (CF 3 ) enones were proved to act as good dienophiles in asymmetric normal‐electron‐demand Diels–Alder cycloadditions with 2,4‐dienals under trienamine catalysis with a chiral secondary amine. The sequential reductive amination transformations with benzylamine produced cis‐ and trans‐ fused chiral trifluoromethylated octahydroisoquinolines in a diastereodivergent manner by using NaBH(OAc) 3 and NaBH 3 CN as the reductants, respectively. Moreover, other types of activated alkenes that bear a CF 3 group have also been successfully utilized to construct a diverse range of chiral cyclic frameworks in high stereoselectivity.
