Rational design of highly effective asymmetric Diels-Alder catalysts bearing 4,4'-sulfonamidomethyl groups

Several studies are conducted to explain the rational design of the highly enantioselective asymmetric Diels-Alder catalysts that are shown to be bearing several 4,4'-sulfonamidomethyl groups. The secondary reactions taking place in the system are shown to be extremely useful for high catalytic activity and high level of induction of enantioselectivity.
