Abstract: Asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions of aromatic aldehydes with Danishefsky’s diene derivative were carried out smoothly in the presence of the Ti(IV)-(R)-BINOL (1:1.2) complex to give the corresponding chiral 2,6-disubstituted dihydropyrones under mild conditions. The readily accessible I-Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 (1.2:1) complex was found to be an effective catalyst for this reaction. Aromatic aldehydes afforded the corresponding products in moderate yields (up to 72 %) with good enantioselectivities (up to 80 % ee). Aromatic aldehydes in presence of the TiCl4-NaOCH3-II (1:4.2:1.2) complex gave the products in higher yields (up to 73 %) with better enantioseletivities (up to 84 % ee).
