Abstract

A catalytic, asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of α-fluoro α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and cyclopentadiene was developed using diarylprolinol silyl ether as an organocatalyst. The reaction proceeds in toluene with trifluoroacetic acid as an additive (condition A). Perchloric acid salt of diarylprolinol silyl ether also promotes the reaction using water as a reaction medium (condition B). In both cases, excellent exo-selectivity and enantioselectivity were obtained with generation of a fluorinated quaternary chiral center.
