title: Highly enantioselective and diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between azomethine imines and 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone catalyzed by binaphthyldiimine-Ni(II) complexes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] We have found the first example of high levels of asymmetric induction (97-74% ee) along with high diastereoselectivity (>99:1-64:36) in dipole-HOMO-/dipolarophile-LUMO-controlled asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between fused azomethine imines and 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone using a chiral BINIM-Ni(II) complex as a chiral Lewis acid catalyst.
