Abstract

The Diels–Alder reaction of 1,2-dihydropyridines with different dienophiles is a well-established and straightforward method for the synthesis of isoquinuclidines. Nevertheless, the enantioselective preparation of isoquinuclidines using organocatalysts or organometallic catalysts is rather unexplored. This succinct review offers readers an overall perspective of the most important recent developments and concepts related to this topic.
