ASYMMETRIC DIELS-ALDER REACTION PROMOTED BY A CHIRAL TITANIUM REAGENT

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.1109

The asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction between prochiral dienes and dienophiles prepared from α,β-unsaturated acids and 1,3-oxazolidin-2-one proceeds by the use of a chiral alkoxy titanium(IV) to give the corresponding cycloadducts in high enantioselectivity
