Ethyl diazepane carboxylate efficiently catalyzes the Diels–Alder cycloaddition of α-substituted-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes via iminium ion organocatalysis. The reaction is applicable to a range of dienes and dienophiles and generally proceeds at room temperature in the presence of 5 mol-% catalyst and 2.5 mol-% triflic acid co-catalyst. The incorporation of a stereogenic center on the diazepane backbone in combination with a menthyl carbamate produces a catalyst which affords enantioselectivities of 70–95 % ee for the cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene with a range of dienophiles. The enantioselectivity is rationalized via a transition state in which electrostatic stabilization by the carboxylate directs the diene to the more hindered face of the dienophile.
Asymmetric desymmetrization based on an intramolecular haloetherification: A highly effective and recyclable chiral nonracemic auxiliary, 2-exo-methyl-3-endo-phenyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxaldehyde, for meso-1,3- and meso-1,4-diols

A new chiral auxiliary, a 3-endo-phenyl norbornene aldehyde derivative, which is a crystalline, very stable, and easily handled, was developed for the desymmetrization of meso-1,3- and meso-1,4-diols. The key step of the method, an intramolecular bromoeth
