Asymmetric Hetero Diels-Alder Reaction Catalyzed by Chiral Ytterbium(III) Phosphate{Yb[(R)-(-)-BNP]3}: Remarkable Ligand Effect on the Enantioselectivity

Abstract
2,6-Lutidine was found to be an effective additive for the chiral ytterbium(III) phosphate {Yb[(R)-(-)-BNP]3}-catalyzed asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reaction thus achieving high enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee) at room temperature.
