Design of hydrogen bond catalysts based on a modular oxazoline template: application to an enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction.
[reaction: see text] A catalyst system that displays two hydrogen bond donating arms from a rigid oxazoline backbone and its utility in a hydrogen bond promoted enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction are described.
