A highly stereoselective 1,3‐dipolar [6+4] cycloaddition towards bridged azabicyclo[4.3.1]decane scaffolds has been developed, reacting aldehydes, 2‐aminomalonates and tropone under mild conditions in the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst. The scope is demonstrated for a series of aldehydes and 2‐aminomalonates, and the reaction proceeds in high yields, >95:5 d.r. and up to 99 % ee . A series of transformations, as well as a mechanistic proposal, are presented.
