3.2. (1R,2S,5R)-5-Methyl-2-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)-cyclohexyl 2-fluoropropenoate 1a
Under an argon atmosphere, to a solution of (−)-8-phenylmenthol (633 mg, 2.7 mmol) and triethyl-
amine (0.58 ml, 4.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml) was added a solution of 2-fluoroacryloyl chloride (426 mg,
3.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml) at 0°C. After being stirred for 3 h at 0°C, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (158
mg, 1.1 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and then stirred for 8 h at ambient temperature. After
addition of water, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with
brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum. After purification by silica gel
column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, 7/2), the compound 1a (2.29 g, 9.13 mmol) was obtained
in 64% yield (based on 8-phenylmenthol).

3.3. Typical procedure for the Lewis acid mediated Diels–Alder reaction of 1a with cyclopentadiene
Under an argon atmosphere, to a solution of 1a (102.6 mg, 0.335 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 ml) was added
a solution of diethylaluminum chloride (0.95 M in hexane, 0.53 ml, 0.504 mmol) at 0°C. After being
stirred for 30 min, cyclopentadiene (1.0 ml, 10.3 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture at 0°C and
the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 8 h. After addition of saturated aqueous ammonium
chloride, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with brine,
dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum. After purification by silica gel column
chromatography (hexane/chloroform, 7/2), 2a-exo (98.3 mg, 0.264 mmol) was obtained in 79% yield.
