A simple route to selective Diels-Alder reactions using modified zeolite Y
Synthetically useful Diels-Alder reactions of different dienophiles with cyclopentadiene in the presence of chirally modified zeolite Y as simple and accessible medium led to high rate and diastereoselectivity and low to moderate enantioselectivity.
