Asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions between aza-chalcone and cyclopentadiene (CP) catalyzed by the binaphthol-titanium (BINOL – Ti) in the presence of HMPA (80 mole %) were studied. The products were obtained with up to 87% ees.

DNA in command: An enantioselectiveDiels–Alderreaction can be achieved using human telomeric G‐quadruplex DNA‐based catalysts. The absolute configuration of the product can be reversed when the conformation of G‐quadruplex DNA is switched from antiparallel to parallel, and both the reaction rate and the enantioselectivity of the Diels–Alderreaction were found to be dependent on the DNA sequence
found that the G-triplex DNA could be used as an enantioselectivecatalyst without further addition of ligands in Diels–Alderreactions when coordinated with copper ions, for the first time. The efficiency and selectivity of the catalyst were investigated. The kinetic measurements were made using ultraviolet (UV) light. The stability of the catalyst in aqueous buffer was confirmed by circular dichroism
Selectivity by the barrel-load: A reaction cavity with a tethered polycyclic pyrene moiety, which acts as a platform to provide aromatic interactions, is constructed within the rigid scaffold of the β-barrel nitrobindin protein. An asymmetricDiels–Alderreaction between azachalcone and cyclopentadiene proceeds within the reaction cavity of the pyrene-linked nitrobindin with high stereoselectivity

A new type of DNA metal complex hybridcatalyst, which is based on single‐stranded DNA oligonucleotides, is described. It was shown that oligonucleotides as short as 14 nucleotides that fold into hairpin structures are suitable as nucleic acid components for DNAhybridcatalysts. With these catalysts, excellent enantioinduction in asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions with selectivity values as high as
