A New Dirhodium(<scp>II</scp>) Carboxamidate Complex as a Chiral Lewis Acid Catalyst for Enantioselective Hetero‐Diels–Alder Reactions

Abstract

Excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) and turnover numbers (up to 48 000) were attained in the hetero-Diels–Alder reaction of a diverse range of aldehydes and activated dienes catalyzed by [Rh2(S-bptpi)4] (see scheme).
