✦ Synopsis
Ease of generation, stablity in solution at ambient temperature, high enantioselectivity in Diels-Alder reactions, efficient catalyst recovery, and large rate differences on variation of the anion are all characteristics of the new Ru Lewis acid [CpRu((S,S)-biphop-F)] (biphop-F=(C F ) POCH (Ph)CH (Ph)OP(C F ) ). The structure of complex 1 (L=methacrolein, Y=SbF ) provides evidence for a cooperative binding of the dienophile by both the Lewis acid and the anion.
