It looks like an ene-yne metathesis (between the alkyne and bromopentene) followed by Diels-Alder [4+2] cyclization of the resulting diene with cyclopentene. There is also an SN2 displacement of the primary bromide by benzylamine at some point. Look up the Grubbs I or II Ru catalysts for the ene-yne metathesis. Is this a "one pot" reaction, or are several steps involved? In theory all could be accomplished in "one pot."
