Numbers of enantioselective Diels‐Alder reactions have been reported, but reactions with unbiased benzoquinones have remained a formidable challenge. Masson developed the Diels‐Alder reaction between quinone and diene carbamate to afford dihydronaphthalene‐1,4‐diols catalyzed by SPINOL‐derived CPA 13c (Scheme 2.36a) [86]. Simply changing the amount of quinone resulted in the selective formation of the redox isomers with high stereoselectivity (Scheme 2.36b).

In order to generate a stronger chiral Brønsted acid, Ishihara employed a BBr3‐CPA 6m complex that is expected to function as Lewis acid‐assisted Brønsted acid (LBA) [50], to promote the Diels‐Alder reaction between α‐substituted acroleins and 1,2‐dihydropyridines, which gave cycloadducts with 92–98% ee (Scheme 2.37, Figure 2.9) [87].

2.4.2. Aza‐Diels‐Alder Reactions
The Povarov reaction is an inverse electron‐demand aza‐Diels‐Alder reaction and 2‐azadiene and electron‐rich alkenes. Akiyama reported the Povarov reaction between aldimine bearing a 2‐hydroxyphenyl group on nitrogen and electron‐rich alkene using CPA 6h in 2006 (Scheme 2.38a) [88]. Although presence of the 2‐hydroxyphenyl group on nitrogen was critical for the Povarov reaction, Zhu and Masson reported a three‐component Povarov reaction using enecarbamates as dienophiles catalyzed by 12a (Scheme 2.38b) [89, 90]. Use of the 2‐hydroxyphenyl group was obviated. The mechanism of the Povarov reaction is shown in Figure 2.10. Whereas phosphoryl oxygen formed a hydrogen bond with the 2‐OH moiety in the reaction reported by Akiyama, Zhu and Masson proposed that phosphoryl oxygen would form a hydrogen bond with the N‐H moiety of the enecarbamate.

Masson subsequently reported intramolecular Povarov reactions catalyzed by 6e (Scheme 2.39) [91]. Imines were generated in situ from aldehydes and o‐hydroxyaniline.

Huang succeeded in the construction of tetrahydroquinolines bearing two quaternary stereogenic centers by the reaction between two types of aniline derivatives and pyruvate catalyzed by CPA 12b (Scheme 2.40) [92]. The Mannich reaction and the subsequent Friedel‐Crafts cyclization gave C2‐quaternary carbon centers. “Hybrid” Povarov products were obtained from aniline pairs.

Terada reported a hetero‐Diels‐Alder reaction between azopyridine carboxylate and amidodienes by developing a novel chiral carboxylic acid‐monophosphoric acid 26 (Scheme 2.41) [93].
