✦ Synopsis
A new efficient synthesis of 3-methylene 2-pyrrolidinone 1 involving ylide-lactame 6 is reported. Diels-Alder cycloadditions of 1 to cyclopentadiene exhibited very high exoselcclivilies, regardless of the experimental conditions. These results confirm the generality of exoselectivity for conformalionally restricted s-cis dienophiles and indicate that the dienophile functionality and dipole moment have little influence on its magnitude.

Chiral dienophiles l-3 undergo highly exo and diasfereoface selective Die/s-Alder reactions. The Die/s-Alder reactions of 3 are also highly exo selective under Lewis acid catalyzed conditions. In connection with an ongoing effort in the natural products arena we required a highly diastereoselective
