Diels-Alder Reaction of Dienes Having Stereogenic Allylic Substituents: Control of Diastereoface Selectivity by the Dienophile

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00218a041

The face selectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction of dienes having a stereogenic allylic carbon, as illustrated by structure 5, has been examined.Whereas N-phenylmaleimide and maleic acid afforded adducts resulting from like topicity, tetracyanoethylene an
