✦ Synopsis


New chiral sulfoxide ligands which are useful for catalytic asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions have been developed. The new ligands involve a chiral sulfinyl function and a 1,3-oxazoline ring with an asymmetric carbon center, in which the chiral sulfinyl group has been revealed to play a crucial role in achieving high enantioselectivity in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions. Among the Lewis acid catalysts employed, magnesium iodide provided the highest chemical and stereochemical efficiency in the cycloaddition reactions. A mechanistic pathway for the asymmetric synthesis is proposed on the basis of the stereochemical outcomes obtained.

Chiral lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates) were developed and the unique structure of the triflates was revealed. In the presence of a catalytic amount of the triflate, acyl-2,3-oxazolidin-2-ones reacted with cyclopentadiene to afford the Diels-Alder adducts in high yields and with hi
