Abstract

In this study, two chiral 2-(2-hydroxyaryl) alcohols (HAROLs; 1,4-diols) and a 1,4- aminoalkylphenol (AAP) were examined as hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) organocatalysts in the asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction of aldehydes with Rawal’s diene. Catalytic amount (10 mol%) of the both scaffolds (HAROL and AAP) have been found to effect the HDA reaction in a quite efficient manner. Among them, a HAROL molecule based on indan backbone was turned out to be the best in terms of catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. On the other hand, AAP tested seemed to act as a bifunctional organocatalyst, i.e. as both a Lewis base and HBD organocatalyst. Experimental results underpins that a careful tuning of HAROL structure might lead to the development of more general HBD organocatalysts.
