description

A general catalytic inverse electron demand hetero-Diels Alder reaction for 2-alkenoylpyridine N-oxides is presented. 2-Alkenoylpyridine N-oxides react very efficiently with alkenes in the presence of bisoxazolidine-copper(II) [BOX-Cu(II)] complexes to give chiral dihydropyrans bearing a pyridine ring at the 6-position with very high yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. These heterodienes exhibited higher reactivity and enantioselectivity than the corresponding non-oxidized 2-alkenoylpyridines.
