note that, due to their relative proximities, equatorially
located donor substituents in rigid five-membered rings
generally experience much more direct and severe
interchelate repulsive forces than their axial counter-
parts. On the other hand, due to the rigid skew ring
conformation and the strict planarity of the naphthyl
ring, the H(3) naphthyl proton protrudes invariably
toward the space just below the arsenic donor. This
naphthyl proton, together with the stereochemically
well-defined N-Me groups, are powerful chirality in-
ducers and, in many instances, are able to control the
stereochemistry of their neighboring coordination sites.13a

It has been well documented that Diels-Alder reac-
tions involving DMPP require both the cyclic diene and
the selected dienophiles to be coordinated simulta-
neously on a transition-metal template during the
course of a cycloaddition reaction.11 Interestingly, the
thermodynamically unstable exo-syn products are in-
variably produced from these processes. Figure 2a
shows the interchelate interactions in the cationic
complex (+)-3. In this structure, the As-C-C-P link-
age may be viewed as part of the rigid five-membered
As-Pd-P chelate ring which adopts the rigid λ confor-
mation. Hence, As-Ph occupies a pseudoequatorial
position above the CNAsP square plane and As-Ph′ is
in an axial position below the plane. The bridgehead
substituent, P-Ph, projects toward the space below the
plane. Model studies indicate that there is no major
steric repulsion between the two metal chelates. Figure
2b, on the other hand, shows the structure of the
unfavored diastereomer that was not formed in the
Diels-Alder reaction. In this unfavored complex, the
absolute configuration at P is S and the As-C-C-P
ring adopts the δ conformation. Accordingly, As-Ph
occupies the axial position above the square plane and
As-Ph′ is equatorially disposed below it. In contrast to
its counterpart in (+)-3, P-Ph in this unfavored dias-
tereomer projects to the space above the plane. Model
studies clearly indicate that two major interchelate
repulsions exist within this isomer: one exists between
the sterically protruding H(3) naphthyl proton and the
equatorial As-Ph′ group; another severe steric con-
straint is observed between the proximal N-Me(eq)
steric group and P-Ph. Interestingly, both repulsive
forces are effective at equatorial positions. We believe
that these interchelate repulsive forces are the discrimi-
nating factors that hinder the formation of this unfa-
vored diastereomer in the Diels-Alder reaction.

dichloromethane (200 mL) was stirred at room temperature
until all the reaction promoter had dissolved (ca. 1 h). The
solvent was removed from the reaction mixture, and the
residue was recrystallized from a dichloromethane-ethanol
mixture, forming bright yellow prisms: yield 4.1 g (88%); mp

dichloromethane (100 mL) was stirred for 2 h in the presence
of a solution of silver perchlorate (1.0 g) in water (1 mL). The
colorless organic layer, after the removal of AgCl and drying
(MgSO4), was treated with DMPP (1.0 g) at room temperature
for 3 days. Removal of the solvent gave (+)-3 as a colorless
oil, which was then crystallized from dichloromethane-diethyl
ether to give the complex as pale yellow crystals: yield 2.1 g
Finally, it is noteworthy that no Diels-Alder reaction
is observed between free diphenylvinylarsine and free
DMPP. Interestingly, the chiral palladium complex
activated cycloaddition is found to be at least 15 times
slower than the analogous process involving diphenylvi-
nylphosphine.6 To our knowledge, this is the first
example of a metal ion activated reaction involving
tertiary arsine ligands.
