A series of new enantiomerically pure acylnitroso compounds have been prepared and tested as dienophiles for the asymmetric oxyamination of dienes. Very high selectivities were obtained with acylnitroso compounds derived from diphenylmethoxymethyl pyrrolidine 2c, the C₂-symmetric pyrrolidines 2d-e and camphorsultam 2f.
