Abstract
Non-linear effects reveal that the use of chiral BINOL–boron reagents for aza-Diels–Alder reactions results in an enantioselective catalytic species containing at least 2 equiv. of BINOL. Dynamic ligand exchange and ligand accelerated catalysis occurs in these reactions, consistent with the formation of a cyclic borate ester of BINOL with enhanced Lewis acidity.
