Abstract (EN):
Maleimides were combined with D-erythrose benzylidene-acetal 1,3-butadienes to study the facial selectivity of the Diels-Alder cycloadditions. The selectivity was found to range from moderate to good. The reaction diastereotopicity can be reversed with the temperature. Simultaneous coordination of the diene, having a free hydroxy group, and maleimide to a chiral bimetallic Lewis acid catalyst (LACASA-DA reaction) occurs with complete diastereocontrol to give a single adduct, using an extra chiral inductor either (R)- or (S)-BINOL.
