An efficient catalytic enantioselective hetero-Diels–Alder reaction of Danishefsky’s dienes with α-carbonyl esters using a chiral In(III)–pybox complex has been demonstrated. This protocol offers several advantages, including mild reaction conditions, relatively low catalyst loading, and good to exc...
