(Chemical Equation Presented) A twist in catalysis! The chirality of DNA is transferred directly to a Diels-Alder reaction by using a DNA-tethered catalyst. A catalytically active copper complex with achiral ligands self-assembles with DNA to give products with up to 90% ee, as is the case for the exo isomer of product 1.
