摘要
We report the Diels-Alder reactions of imide-derived dienophiles 2a-2d and 4b-4d with cyclopentadiene catalyzed by square-planar Cu(OTf)2-bis(imine) complexes. The 2,6-dichlorophenyl-substituted ligand la was found to be generally the most effective for a range of substrates, affording products from 83-94% enantiomeric excess. Although endo:exo diastereoselectivity for the oxo-substituted imides 2a-2d is low, significant improvement is achieved with the thiazolidine-2-thione analogues 4b-4d, which provide enhanced dienophile reactivity and enhanced endo:exo diastereoselection.
