This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with American Chemical Society Terms and Conditions for self-archivingA straightforward and atom-economical enantioselective approach to highly substituted tetrahydropyrans is reported. The process, which consists of an intermolecular gold-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition between allenamides, alkenes, and aldehydes, is efficiently catalyzed by both phosphoramidite- and chiral N-heterocyclic carbene-gold catalysts, occurs with complete chemoselectivity and regioselectivity, moderate diastereoselectivity, and moderate to very good enantioselectivitiesThis work was supported by the Spanish MINECO (grant:SAF2013-41943-R, CTQ2013-48164-C2-1-P and -2-P), the Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria (GRC2013-041, 2015-CP082 and Centro Singular de Investigación de Galicia accreditation 2016-2019, ED431G/09) the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Research Council (Adv.
