Asymmetric Diets-Aider (D.-A.) reaction of 5-hydroxynaphthoquinone (juglone) with butadienyl acetate catalyzed by the binaphthol-derived chiral titanium (BINOL-Ti) complex 1 proceeds in only 9% ee in the presence of molecular sieves (MS). Remarkably, however, this reaction proceeds in 76-96% ee with BINOL-Ti complex 1 freed from MS to provide the endo-adducts useful for the synthesis of anthracyclines and tetracyclines. The solid MS-free BINOL-Ti complex 1 is stable for months at -20°C. Enhancements in endo selectivity and asymmetric induction are observed with the MS-free BINOL-Ti 1 also in the catalyzed D.-A. cycloaddition of methacrolein and glyoxylate with 1,3-dienol ethers and esters. The glyoxylate adducts can be converted to the mevinolin (compactin) intermediates. Surprisingly, the MS-free complex 1 exhibits not only a linear relationship between the ee's of BINOL-Ti 1 and the D.-A. products but also a positive nonlinear effect (asymmetric amplification), depending simply on the mixing manner of (R)-1 with (S)-1 or (±)-1.

Asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions of methacrolein and 1,4-naphthoquinone with 1,3-dienol derivatives catalyzed by the chiral binaphthol (BINOL)-derived titanium complex 1 are shown to provide the corresponding endo-adducts in high enantiomeric purity. The

The presence of biphenylenediol 8 accelerates the rate of some Diels-Alder reactions. Catalysis via a complex involving two hydrogen bonds (see 6) is proposed.

The 1-aza-Cope rearrangement of azavinylcyclohexene derivatives were investigated.It was observed that an N-acyl substituent on the 1-aza 1,5-diene provides a sufficient driving force for this normally contrathermodynamic process.Although simple derivatives have high activation energies proceeding in relative low overall yield, a methoxy substituent at C-4 of the aza diene as well as its incorporation into strained bicyclic ring systems facilitates the 1-aza-Cope rearrangement.Because the aza diene precursors are readily available by using the Diels-Alder reaction with acrolein derivatives, this process has synthetic potential for the preparation of nitrogen heterocycles.This scheme is illustrated with the preparation of a hydrolulolidine providing a formal total synthesis of (+/-)-aspidospermine.
