Yb(OTf)(3), can catalyze the glyoxylate-ene reaction effectively as a water-stable and reusable catalyst. Moreover, the selectivity of DA product or ene product can be adjusted by solvents in the reaction of glyoxylates with a diene (isoprene). In the presence of chiral ytterbium complexes generated in situ from Yb(OTf)(3) and optical 6,6'-disubstituted binaphthols, methyl glyoxylate smoothly reacts with alpha-methyl styrene to afford alpha-hydroxyl esters in modest optical yields.
