Enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder Reactions. -Some rare earth organophosphates are found to be efficient catalysts for asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions. The most potent ones are shown in the scheme. During the process, remarkably high asymmetric amplifications are observed as the first example in the metal ion-chiral ligand 1:3 catalytic system. -(FURUNO*, H.; HAYANO, T.; KAMBARA, T.; SUGIMOTO, Y.; HANAMOTO, T.; TANAKA, Y.; JIN, Y.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
