Synthesis and properties of a novel Cu(<scp>ii</scp>)–pyridineoxazoline containing polymeric catalyst for asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction

Abstract

Soluble and recyclable Cu(<sc>ii</sc>)–pyridineoxazoline containing polymeric catalyst shows faster reaction rate and higher enantio-selectivity than its low molecular mass counterpart in D–A reaction of 2-alkenoyl pyridine N-oxide and cyclopentadiene.
