Abstract
Starting from the enantiomerically pure monoterpenes (+)‐pulegone (3), (+)‐limonene (7), (−)‐β‐pinene (9), (+)‐ and (−)‐camphor (13) or (+)‐cholestenone (11) the chiral alcohols 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 et 18 were prepared; their acrylates II underwent a TiCl~4~‐promoted Diels‐Alder addition to cyclopentadiene (Scheme 3, Table) giving in a predictable manner either the (2__R__)‐ or the (2__S__)‐adducts III with 63 to 88% asymmetric induction.
