Ytterbium trichloride-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of unactivated dienes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008086891

Ytterbium chloride (YbCl₃) is an effective and reusable catalyst for Dieis-Alder reactions of unactivated dienes with α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes at room temperature, leading to products with high regio- and stereoselectivities.
