Herein we report studies on the organocatalytic Diels-Alder reaction using a variety of catalysts capable of activating alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds for reactions with dienes. The structurally attractive catalysts 4 and 14 were utilized in the enantioselective organocatalytic Diels-Alder reactions. Catalyst 4 provided the products in fair yields and more importantly in good enantioselectivities of up to 83% ee. Catalyst 14 was synthesized in high yield and was assessed in the enantioselective organocatalytic Diels-Alder reaction. Catalyst 14 proved to be a highly active and selective catalyst providing the products in high yield and high enantioselectivities up to 95% ee. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
