The improvement of the catalytic activity of a heterogeneous chiral catalyst is one of the most critical issues, as are its recovery and reuse. The design of a heterogeneous chiral catalyst, including the immobilization method and the support polymer, is of significance for the catalytic activity in asymmetric reactions. An ionic, core-corona polymer microsphere-immobilized MacMillan catalyst (ICCC) was successfully synthesized by the neutralization reaction of sulfonic acid functionalized core-corona polymer microsphere (CCM–SO3H) with a chiral imidazolidinone precursor. We selected the core-corona polymer microsphere as the polymer support for the improvement of catalytic activity and recovery. The MacMillan catalyst was immobilized onto the pendant position of the corona with ionic bonding. ICCC exhibited excellent enantioselectivity up to 92% enantiomeric excess (ee) (exo) and >99% ee (endo) in the asymmetric Diels-Alder (DA) reaction of (E)-cinnamaldehyde and 1,3-cyclopentadiene. ICCC was quantitatively recovered by centrifugation because of the microsphere structure. The recovered ICCC was reused without significant loss of the enantioselectivity.

Ionic liquids with Lewis superacidic borenium cations were used as catalysts in solvent-less Diels–Alder cycloaddition. The extremely high catalytic activity correlated with the Lewis acidity, expressed as the Gutmann acceptor number.

A series of yttrium, ytterbium, and lanthanum hexa-or heptacoordinate complexes were prepared and their catalytic activities tested in the hetero Diels–Alder reaction between crotonaldehyde and ethyl vinyl ether. It was found that a pKa below 7 of the ligand was necessary but not sufficient for catalytic activity. It was determined that the ligand should possess a perfluoromethyl-β-diketonate functionality. Other factors such as bite angle and hinging motion may also play a determining role. Keywords: lanthanide, catalyst, hetero Dielsis–Alder, yttrium, ytterbium, lanthanum.

New L-serine derivative ligands were prepared and tested as cocatalyst in the Diels-Alder reactions between cyclopentadiene (CPD) and methyl acrylate, in the presence of several Lewis acids. The catalytic potential of the in situ formed complexes was evaluated based on the reaction yield. Bidentate serine ligands showed good ability to coordinate medium strength Lewis acids, thus boosting their catalytic activity. The synthesis of the L-serine ligands proved to be highly efficient and straightforward.
