Abstract
Catalysts prepared from the vaulted biaryls 2 and 3 and bromoborane dimethylsulfide were compared with that generated from the linear biaryl 1 for their ability to provide enantioselective induction in the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and methacrolein. The fact that the S-enantiomers of 2 and 3 give opposite induction than the S-enantiomer of 1 and the fact that effective catalysts can not be generated from 1 and phenylboron dichloride suggests that the catalysts from 2 and 3 do not have the same structure as the C 3-symmetrical catalyst 4 produced from 1.
