title: Highly enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of Brassard diene with aromatic aldehydes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of Brassard diene with aromatic aldehydes were carried out smoothly in the presence of titanium(IV) tridentate Schiff base complexes to give the corresponding chiral delta-lactones in high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions.
