“…By using bulky chiral cyclo-metalated compounds, some asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions proceed at the metal [84][85][86][87][88]. For example, the organopalladium complex containing the (S)-form of ortho-palladated (1-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-naphthalene has been used successfully as a chiral template to promote asymmetric cyclo-addition reactions between coordinated 3,4-dimethyl-1-phenylphosphole 27-1 and a dienophile (N,N-dimethy lacrylamide or styrene) via an endo pathway, that proceed to give the compound 27-2 as shown in Eq.…”
