Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(95)00018-K

The title compound can be obtained with up to five asymmetric centres of known absolute configuration by a diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction between optically active N-substituted furfurylamines and maleic anhydride, in which the chir
