Abstract As a new class of potential catalysts for 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions, fourteen L‐amino acid Schiff base Cu(II) and Ti(IV) complexes were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their catalytic activities in the reaction between C,N‐diphenylnitrone and electron‐rich ethyl vinyl ether under both homogeneous and in situ conditions. The methods for preparation and utilization of the catalysts were elucidated in detail, and the results of the catalytic reactions were described and discussed as well. Excellent reaction results were found in the presence of some catalysts (20 mol%) with > 90% endo‐isoazolidines produced, compared with predominantly exo‐isoazolidine produced without a catalyst. In addition, the reaction rate is found to be enhanced remarkably by a Cu(II) complex Schiff base catalyst at room temperature.
