The (R)- and (S)-1-(1-arylalkoxy)-2-methyl-1,3-butadienes 6 undergo cycloadditions with excess isoprene (7) under pressure to yield not only the expected (4S,6R)- and (4R,6S)-trans-carveol (8) with up to 96percent e.e. but also up to 40percent of (R)- and (S)-limonene (9) with up to 93percent e.e.Asymmetric induction is proposed to arise from a transition state involving definite ? stacking of one molecule of isoprenyl ether and two molecules of isoprene.Key Words: (4S,6R)-, (4R,6S)-trans-Carveol / (R)-, (S)-Limonene / Isoprene / Isoprenyl ether / Cycloaddition, diastereo-, enantioselective
Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reactions with Chiral 2-Methyl-1-(1-arylethoxy)-1,3-butadienes

Chiral 1-arylethanols 2, prepared by enantioselective reduction of phenones 1 with lithium aluminium hydride and Chirald , are converted to the chiral 2-methyl-1-(1-arylethoxy)-1,3-butadienes 5 by vinylogous transesterification with 2-methyl-1-ethoxyacrolein (3) and subsequent Wittig methylenation of the intermediate chiral 3-(1-arylethoxy)-2-methylacroleins 4.The 1-arylethyl isoprenyl ethers 5 undergo cycloadditions as donor-activated 1,3-dienes with numerous electron-deficient dienophiles in good chemical yields and high diastereomeric excesses (>/= 95percent).The chiral inductor is removed optically pure from the cycloadducts by hydrogen chloride and silica gel in dichloromethane suspension at room temperature.
