N-trimethylsilyl bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TMSNTf2) was readily prepared in situ by protodesilylation of trimethylsilane, allyl- or phenyltrimethylsilane with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. NMR studies showed that TMSNTf2 was much more effective than TMSOTf in complexing the carbonyl group of trans-methylcrotonate. As a result, TMSNTf2 was found to be superior to TMSOTf as a catalyst for the Diels-Alder reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters with a wide variety of dienes. In contrast to many metal derived Lewis acids, TMSNTf2 was found tolerant of many sensitive functional groups present in the diene partner. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
