title: Highly enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions of maleimides catalyzed by activated chiral oxazaborolidines.
abstract: Diels-Alder reactions of various combinations of maleimides and 1,3-dienes with cationic oxazaborolidines as catalysts have been shown to be highly efficient and enantioselective.
