Abstract

A new type of dendritic NOBIN derived Schiff base ligands has been synthesized and applied to titanium catalyzed hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of Danishelfsky's diene and aldehydes, affording the corresponding 2-substituted 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-one in good yields and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 59.2% ee). It was found that the size of dendron attached to the tri-dentated ligands has slight impact on the enantioselectivity of the reaction and the second generation of dendritic ligand exhibited the best enantioselectivity.
