T. Harada et al., EFFECTS OF TORSIONAL ANGLES OF 2,2'-BIARYLDIOL LIGANDS IN ASYMMETRIC DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS OF ACRYLATES CATALYZED BY THEIR TITANIUM COMPLEXES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(9), 1996, pp. 2479-2482
In the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of acrylates with cyclopentadie
ne catalyzed by a series of chiral titanium complexes derived from 2,2
'-biaryldiols 1-3, ee's of the endo-adducts depend on the torsional an
gles of the ligands and are maximal when 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol 1 or 6,6'-
hexylenedioxy-2,2'-biphenyldiol 2 e is used. Copyright (C) 1996 Publis
