A new titanium-based chiral Lewis acid 1 has been developed using (1R,2R)-1,2-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-ethane-1,2-diol as a chiral vicinal diol ligand. This chiral catalyst was found to exhibit uniformly high enantioselectivity towards carboxylic ester dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions. The chiral vicinal ligand (1R,2R)-1,2-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-ethane-1,2-diol is inexpensive and is easily accessible.

Asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions of an acrylic acid derivative using a catalytic amount of a chiral titanium reagent were performed with several dienes.The titanium catalyst was prepared by the alkoxy exchange between dichlorodiisopropoxytitanium(IV) and a chiral 1,4-diol derived from (2R,3R)-tartrate.By the use of the titanium catalyst, the reaction between 3-acryloyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one and dienes proceeded in a toluene-petroleum ether mixture in the presence of Molecular Sieves 4A to afford the Diels-Alder adducts in 72-100percent yields and 88 - >96percent enantioselectivity.This reaction can be applied to a diene containing a hetero atom such as 2-ethylthio-1,3-butadiene, which affords the Diels-Alder adduct in a high optical purity.In this paper are also described the methods for determining the optical purities of the obtained 4-substituted 3-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid derivatives.
