    An efficient double catalytic system, combining chiral amine and 2-mercaptobenzoic acid, is applied for α',β-regioselective 4+2 annulations of 2-cyclopentenone with a diversity of activated alkenes, constructing multifunctional chiral bicycle2,2,1heptane scaffolds in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. In comparison with the traditional cross-dienamine species between 2-cyclopentenone and chiral amine, the interrupted enamine intermediate containing a covalently linked thiol catalyst shows significantly improved reactivity.
