Previous reports from this laboratory have documented the utility of cationic C2-symmetric Cu (II) bis (oxazoline) 1 complexes 1 and 2 as chiral Lewis acids capable of catalyzing a number of Diels-Alder2 and aldol3 reactions with high enantioselectivities. In these processes, the unifying organizational motif is that the substrate undergoing activation is capable of chelating to the chiral cationic Cu (II) catalyst, a condition that frequently affords high enantioselection. 4 The purpose of this paper is to present our findings that R,-unsaturated acyl phosphonates undergo enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reactions5 with enol ethers catalyzed by chiral Cu (II) complexes 1 and 2 to afford cyclic enol phosphonates (eq 1), chemical entities that are shown to be useful building blocks for asymmetric synthesis.The selection of acyl phosphonates for this study was made on the premise that favorable acyl phosphonate-catalyst association might be achieved via complexation between the vicinal CdO and PdO functional groups. Indeed, it was found that complexes 1 and 2 activate acyl phosphonates 3a-d to the extent that they undergo facile cycloaddition reactions with electron-rich alkenes (Table 1). 6-8 The reaction of ethyl vinyl ether (4) with crotonyl phosphonate 3a in the presence of [Cu ((S, S)-tert-Bu-box)](OTf) 2
