A diammonium salt of chiral 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine (2a) and trifluoromethanesulfonimide (Tf2NH) shows excellent catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for the Diels-Alder reaction of alpha-acyl-oxyacroleins. For example, in the presence of 5 mol % of 2a and 9.5 mol % of Tf2NH, the Diels-Alder reaction of alpha-(cyclohexanecarbonyloxy)acrolein with cyclopentadiene proceeded in EtCN at -75 degrees C to give the adducts in 88 % yield with 92 % exo and 91 % ee. The electron-donating property of the acyl group of the alpha-acyloxyacroleins increases the enantioselectivity due to the formation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the acyl group with a proton of the ammonium group in the transition state. This catalyst can be easily prepared in situ by mixing the commercially available chiral diamine and Tf2NH.
