Abstract
3-Aza-3-benzyl-1,5-dihydroxy-1,5-diphenylpentane 1, a C-2-symmetric diol has been prepared by the reaction of benzylamine and styrene oxide using a modified procedure. The corresponding titanium complex has been effectively utilised as a Lewis acid promoter in Diels-Alder reactions. The reactions are performed with cyclopentadiene and various dienophiles under different reaction conditions. The Diels-Alder adducts have been obtained in moderate to good yield and with high endo selectivity.
