Abstract

Diels–Alder reactions of 1, 4-naphthoquinones bearing a chiral auxiliary at C-2, with cyclopentadiene under Lewis acid conditions afforded the corresponding Diels–Alder adducts. High levels of diastereomeric excess were obtained using (R)-pantolactone,(S)-N- methyl-2-hydroxysuccinimide and trans-2-phenylcyclohexanol as auxiliaries. Moderate asymmetric induction was achieved using Oppolzer's camphorsultam and (R)-(+)-4-benzyl ...
