Abstract: A new chiral catalyst for the enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction has been synthesized, namely [(4S,4'S)-4,4',5,5'-tetrahydro-4,4'-diisopropyl-2,2'-(dibenzylmethylene)dioxazole-²N,N']bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato-O)copper(II) tetrahydrofuran solvate, [Cu(CF₃O₃S)₂(C₂₇H₃₄N₂O₂)]·C₄H₈O. It is used in a model study for comparing solid-phase and solution-phase catalyst activity.
