Catalytic Enantioselective Hetero-Diels-Alder Reactions of an Azo Compound

摘要

The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most useful reactions in organic chemistry because multifunctionalized compounds can be constructed in a single step.The catalytic enantioselective version of this process has attracted much attention in modern organic chemistry.We recently reported the catalytic highly enantioselective nitroso hetero-Diels-Alder reaction using nitroso pyridine as a dienophile in the presence of a chiral copper catalyst.
