Abstract
A new scaffold for organocatalysis of the DielseAlder reaction is disclosed; an isoxazolidine ring forms
the core of the catalyst and its activity is enhanced by judicious fusion of a second five-membered
heterocycle to the c-edge. The catalyst performance is improved by the incorporation of an endo-cyclic
electron withdrawing group adjacent to the fusion point. The organic core is effective only in the
presence of an acid co-catalyst and whilst the two-component system shows potential as an enantioselective
catalyst it is demonstrated that stereocontrol is a feature of the organic core and is fully independent
of the choice of co-catalyst.
