- Enantioselective Diels-Alder Reactions of Carboxylic Ester Dienophiles Catalysed by Titanium-Based Chiral Lewis Acid
-
A new titanium-based chiral Lewis acid 1 has been developed using (1R,2R)-1,2-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-ethane-1,2-diol as a chiral vicinal diol ligand. This chiral catalyst was found to exhibit uniformly high enantioselectivity towards carboxylic ester dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions. The chiral vicinal ligand (1R,2R)-1,2-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-ethane-1,2-diol is inexpensive and is easily accessible.

- Hydrophobic effects are dominant over secondary orbital interactions for a simple Diets-Alder reaction in salt solutions
-
The stereoselectivity ratios for a Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene with methyl trans-crotonate carried out in salt solutions demonstrate the dominance of hydrophobic effects over secondary orbital interactions.

- Converting exo-Selective Diels-Alder Reaction to endo-Selective in Chloroloaluminate Ionic Liquids
-
The endo:exo ratio of 0.35:1 for the reaction of cyclopentadiene with methyl methacrylate observed in organic solvents can be converted to 3:1 in chloroaluminate ionic liquids with their effective reuse in Diels-Alder reactions.

- Trimethylsilyl bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide as a tolerant and environmentally benign Lewis acid catalyst of the Diels-Alder reaction
-
N-trimethylsilyl bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TMSNTf2) was readily prepared in situ by protodesilylation of trimethylsilane, allyl- or phenyltrimethylsilane with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. NMR studies showed that TMSNTf2 was much more effective than TMSOTf in complexing the carbonyl group of trans-methylcrotonate. As a result, TMSNTf2 was found to be superior to TMSOTf as a catalyst for the Diels-Alder reaction of α,β-unsaturated esters with a wide variety of dienes. In contrast to many metal derived Lewis acids, TMSNTf2 was found tolerant of many sensitive functional groups present in the diene partner.

- Cycloadditions of Allyl Cations, 28. Novel Diels-Alder Additions via Acid Catalyzed Reactions of 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-ol with Cyclopentadiene and Cyclohexadiene in Two Phases. Formation of Monocyclic, Bicyclic, and Tricyclic Adducts and Double Fragmentation of a Norbornenylcarbinol
-
4-Methyl-3-penten-2-ol (1) and cyclopentadiene react in an acidic two phase system at 0 deg C to form allylcyclopentenols 2 and norbornenylcarbinols 4.At 50 deg C and under similar conditions, 2 as well as 4 are equilibrated to allylcyclopentadienes 3, bicyclic olefins 5 and 6, and tricyclic ether 7.With a comparatively reactive dehydrating agent (SOCl2/pyridine), norbornenylcarbinol 4 suffers double fragmentation to give dimeric dienes C12H20, which were also obtained independently by acid catalyzed dehydrative dimerization of allyl alcohol 1. - The endo/exo selectivity for the formation of epimeric norbornenylcarbinols 4 from cyclopentadiene and 1 is similar to that of the AlCl3-catalyzed cycloaddition of methyl 2-butenoate and cyclopentadiene (13:1).The acid catalyzed two phase reaction of cyclohexadiene and 1 at room temperature gives the substituted bicyclooctene endo-13 in 19 - 23 percent yield.
