β¦ Synopsis
Starting from (R)-(+)-and from (S)-(-)-camphor the chiral alcohols 1: 2 and 3 have been prepared; their acrylates II underwent TiCl,(OR),-promoted Diels-Alder additTons to cyclopentadiene giving efficiently in a predictable manner either the (2R)-or the (2S)-adducts III with up to virtually quantitative asymmetric induction. The Diels-Alder addition of 1,3-dienes to olefins is a reaction of pre-eminent importance in organic synthesis. Consequently, considerable efforts have been expended to enantioselective versions of this process which may create two pairs of new chiral centers at the binding sites. Despite encouraging progress in this field, employing either chiral dienophiles', dienes2 or Lewis acid catalysts3, much remains to be done. Recently a host of .&-face directing acrylates A, E and C (Scheme 1) and their re-face directing counterparts have been added to cyclopentadiene in the presence of TiC14 with s90% predictable enantioselectionll.
