Abstract
2-Aminopyridinium ions were found to activate nitroalkenes toward conjugate addition of heteroaromatic compounds with low catalyst loadings and the Diels-Alder reaction with the periselectivity opposite to that observed with metal Lewis acids, raising the possibility that a 2-aminopyridinium core might be a promising catalaphore for the asymmetric catalyst design.
