Diels−Alder reactions of cyclic isoimidium salts are described. The corresponding cycloadducts are obtained with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The use of homochiral cyclic isoimidium salts delivers cycloadducts with excellent diastereoselectivity (>99:1) that can be efficiently converted to enantiomerically pure lactones.

The bis-aluminated triflic amides such as TfN[Al(Me)Cl](2) and TfN[Al(iBU)(2)](2,) which are derived from triffic amide (I mol) and aluminum reagent (2 mol), can efficiently promote the Diels-Alder reaction of alpha, beta-unsaturated lactone derivatives as dienophiles. Selection of the ligand on aluminum of these Lewis acids should be important depending on the combination of dienophile and 1,3-diene. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We found that 'Tf2CH2 + Me3Al' systems are effective catalytic systems for the DA reaction of less reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated lactone derivatives, compared to alpha,beta,-unsaturated ester derivatives, with cyclopentadiene. Mononuclear aluminum methide complex, Tf2CHAlMe2, as an active species is formed in these catalytic systems. Effects of lactone ring-size on the reactivity and stereoselectivity were also examined. By expanding ring-size, reactivity of alpha,beta-unsaturated lactones reduced but endo-selectivity notably increased. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
