β¦ Synopsis
Ni(COD)z/Ph3P or Ni(acac)2/Et3Al/PhsP have been shown to be effective catalysts for the stereoselective homo Diels-Alder reaction between norbomadiene and electron deficient olefins. High and opposite stereoselectivity was observed for cyclic and acyclic enones. Vinyl sulfoxides gave predominantly one isomer, whereas vinyl sulfones were non-selective.

New Diels-Alder reactions of tropylium ion are studied, and the observed stereoselectivities suggest that solvent effects determine the steric course of these reactions. Troplylium ion (1) has been found to undergo a number of Diels-Alder type reactions with high endo selectivity.2
