Oxa-Diels-Alder reaction is a straightforward, atom-economical process for the construction of six membered oxa-cycle which is a privileged structure due to its omnipresence in several pharmaceuticals and natural products. Like many other asymmetric transformations, organocatalysis provides an elegant pathway to their synthesis via [4+2] annulation under mild reaction conditions. The oxa-Diels reactions either utilize α,β-unsaturated carbonyl as oxadiene with a suitable dienophile or simple carbonyl as dienophile with other dienes. A range of organocatalysts have been explored in the past decade to execute this strategy. The catalysts induce stereoselectivities via two basic reactivities: 1) Formation of chiral intermediates, 2) Selectively activating suitable reactants in transition state. The present review assembles organocatalyzed asymmetric oxa-Diels-Alder reactions published in last ten years’ time span with detailed discussion on mechanistic approaches.
