Abstract
Powerful combination: Arylamines and metal Lewis acids are used as catalysts in the highly chemo- and enantioselective three-component inverse-electron-demand aza-Diels-Alder reaction of cyclic ketones with enones. The enantioselectivity is introduced by a simple chiral anion (see scheme). Arylamines can also serve as effective enamine catalysts in combination with either a metal Lewis acid or a Brønsted acid.
