Over the past decade, organocatalysis has caught the imagination of synthetic chemists, advancing the boundaries of chemical synthesis.[1] Of particular note is the use of secondary amines in iminium ion [2] and enamine-catalyzed [3] processes. Within iminium ion catalyzed reactions the imidazolidinone architecture (Scheme 1) has emerged as a privileged catalyst scaffold.[4] Imidazolidinone 1 has been used in the acceleration of [4+ 2],[5][3+ 2],[6] and [4+ 3][7] cycloadditions as well as the conjugate addition of pyrroles [8] to α, β-unsaturated aldehydes. The pivaldehyde-derived imidazolidinone 2 has been used for the conjugate addition of indoles [9] and electron-rich aromatics [10] to form new CÀC bonds, the addition of nitrogen-[11] and hydride-based [12] nucleophiles and for intramolecular [4+ 2] cycloadditions.[13] Imidazolidinone 3 has been used in iminium ion catalyzed Diels–Alder cycloaddition [14] and conjugate reduction [15] reactions of α, β-unsaturated ketones. In the initial publication on the Diels–Alder cycloaddition using catalyst 1· HCl it was noted that water had a dual role in the reaction, increasing both yield and ee obtained for the products.[5a] These observations have yet to be explained through experimental findings. In subsequent reports using catalysts 1–3 [5–15] the majority of optimized reaction conditions involve use of a protic solvent in the reaction medium (water, isopropyl alcohol, or ethanol). From a practical perspective, the ability to perform these transformations without the rigorous exclusion of moisture makes them operationally simple and has undoubtedly been instrumental in the rapid development of the field. Investigations focussing on the reactivity of the imidazolidinone scaffold and improvements in catalyst activity have been previously reported [16] and experimental evidence to rationalize selectivities and kinetic profiles in iminium ion catalyzed transformations have also received attention.[17–19] However, to date the precise role of protic solvents in affecting the outcome of an iminium ion catalyzed process has yet to be rigorously examined experimentally. Here we report on the subtle roles of protic solvents in determining the rate and stereochemical outcome of the Diels–Alder cycloaddition catalyzed by imidazolidinone 1· HCl. As a starting point to this investigation we confirmed and further exemplified the effect of water on the stereochemical outcome and yield in the Diels–Alder cycloaddition between cinnamaldehyde (7) and cyclopentadiene catalyzed by imidazolidinone 1· HCl in a series of solvents (Table 1). This data was not explicitly included in the initial report.[5a]In anhydrous methanol the Diels–Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and cinnamaldehyde (7) provided the endo and exo adducts in 93% ee and 91% ee, respectively (88% yield)(Table 1, entry 2). Similar levels of asymmetric induction but higher yield were obtained in a methanol/water system (entry1; 93% ee endo, 93% ee exo, 93% yield). Addition of water therefore increases the yield obtained but does not substantially alter selectivities in an alcoholic
