✦ Synopsis


The diastereoselectivity of the intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of 2-azetidinone-tethered dienes was investigated. Diene precursors were prepared from 4-azetidinone-2-carbaldehydes through an allylation-dehydration process or by the sequence Wittig reaction/enolate trapping. Dienes with a βlactam ring at the allyl carbon of the diene moiety reacted with some acyclic symmetric dienophiles, such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and dimethyl fumarate, to yield Diels-Alder adducts efficiently in a highly diastereoselective manner. In addition, reaction with an unsymmetrical
