The reactivity of allenic esters towards activated N ‐sulfonylimines in the presence of DABCO was explored. A formal [2+2] cycloaddition of benzyl buta‐2,3‐dienoate and N ‐arylidenebenzenesulfonamides yielded mainly 2‐methyleneazetidines. Interestingly, a DABCO‐catalysed reaction of 2,3‐allenoates, bearing a chiral auxiliary on the ester moiety, with N ‐arylidenebenzenesulfonamides led to optically active aza‐Baylis–Hillman products and 2‐azetine derivatives.
