Novel binaphthyl and biphenyl α- and β-amino acids and esters: organocatalysis of asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions. A combined synthetic and computational study

Org. Biomol. Chem., 2018,16,7400-7416 DOI: 10.1039/C8OB01795F, PaperPhilip C. Bulman Page, Francesca S. Kinsey, Yohan Chan, Ian R. Strutt, Alexandra M. Z. Slawin, Garth A. Jones Asymmetric catalysis of the Diels –Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and cinnamaldehydes has been studied using as catalysts a range of novel α- and β-aminoacids and aminoesters with binaphthyl and biphenyl backbones.
