Abstract

The indenyl roof over the chiral Lewis acid catalyst site of [(indenyl)Ru((S,S)-biphop-F)]+ (see picture) gives rise not only to high enantioselectivities in Diels-Alder reactions between enals and cyclopentadiene but also affects the endo/exo diastereoselectivity. The exo product is formed preferentially even with acrolein.
