Catalytic, Enantioselective Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction with Novel, Chiral Bis-Titanium(IV) Catalyst

Abstract
Our recently designed chiral bis-titanium(IV) catalyst can be successfully utilized for the catalytic enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of aldehyde and Danishefsky’s diene. The high asymmetric induction is achievable in the case of sterically less hindered aldehydes.
