Popis: Catalytic asymmetric aza Diels–Alder reactions of acylhydrazones with Danishefsky’s dienes have been developed. A chiral zirconium complex derived from zirconium propoxide and 3,3′,6,6′-I4BINOL was found to be effective in this reaction, and the desired optically active 2,3-dihydro-4-pyridone derivatives were obtained with high enantioselectivities. Asymmetric formal synthesis of a natural product, coniine, was conducted using this catalytic asymmetric reaction as a key step.
