Abstract
To develop a novel asymmetric organocatalyst based on a ribonucleoside skeleton, we designed and synthesized 2'-aminouridine derivatives. The synthesized 2'-aminouridines having bulky substituents at both base and sugar moieties could catalyze the Diels-Alder reaction between cinnamaldehyde and cyclopentadiene. However, the optical purities of the resulting products were unexpectedly low.
