Thermal Diels-Alder reaction of 2,4-hexadienol with methyl acrylate is unselective. By simultaneous coordination of diene and dienophile to a chiral bimetallic Lewis acid catalyst, a LACASA-DA reaction occurs with complete control of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity to give a single adduct.
