Cationic-Oxazaborolidine-Catalyzed Enantioselective Diels-Alder Reaction of α,β-Unsaturated Acetylenic Ketones

摘要

The catalytic, enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction is one the most extensively studied transformations in the field of asymmetric catalysis. This attention is justified, especially in view of the myriad of natural product syntheses that make use of this reaction. The current state of asymmetric Diels-Alder catalysis is certainly impressive.
