Abstract

Optically active 3-oxobutylideneaminatocobalt(III) complexes were developed as effective catalysts for the enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with 3-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-methoxy-1,3-butadiene. In the presence of the highly active cationic cobalt(III) complex, the hetero Diels-Alder reactions proceeded to afford the corresponding dihydropyran-4-ones with high performance and high enantioselectivities. The reaction with aromatic aldehydes substituted by a coordinating group at the ortho position proceeded more smoothly.
