An air and moisturestable C3‐symmetric titanium(IV) triflate, supported by a tripodal amine‐(tris‐phenolate) ligand, has been synthesized and characterized by X‐ray crystallography and shown to be a good Lewisacidcatalyst for a range of aza‐Diels–Alder, Diels–Alder, syn aldol, allylation, and alkylation reactions.
Scandiumtrifluoromethanesulfonate (Sc(OTf)3) is found to be quite effective as a Lewis acid catalyst in the Diels-Alder reaction. The novel catalyst is available in both aqueous and organic media, is easily recovered from aqueous layer after the reaction is completed, and can be reused.
A series of dendritic ligands with a 2,2'-bipyridine core was synthesized through the coupling of 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine with poly(arylether) dendron in fair yields. The corresponding copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) dendrimers were applied as a Lewis acid catalyst to the Diels-Alder reaction. A positive dendritic effect on the chemical yields of adducts was observed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In ligand design for asymmetric catalysis, the usual norm is to derive the face shielding elements from a chiral source. New ligands in which the face shielding is determined by fluxional groups are introduced. Their design, modular synthesis, and experiments to demonstrate the significance of the fluxional groups are discussed. The advantage is that the fluxional groups, introduced at a later stage, allow for simple tuning of the face shielding group.
