The Diels-Alder reaction between methacrolein andcyclopentadiene catalyzed by [(5-C5Me5)Ir{(R)-Prophos}(methacrolein)][SbF6]2 is inhibited by the products, this featureallowing, for the first time, the spectroscopic and crystallographic characterization of the major Lewis acid-productintermediate involving an enal as a dienophile.
