Abstract:Attempts to improve the organocatalytic Diels‐Alder reactions of vinylboronic compounds are described. Further experiments, theoretical calculations and NMR studies were performed to optimize the existing procedure and analyze the reactivity of the reactive intermediate and the ligand‐exchange process. In particular, the relationship between the structure and the performance of the organocatalysts was studied theoretically and experimentally. Although the catalytic activity of the α‐hydroxy acids could not be … Show more
