Enantiomerically pure 2-p-tolylsulfinylmaleates 1, 2 and 3 have been readily prepared by Knoevenagel reaction between (S)-menthyl p-toluenesulfinate and glyoxylic acid.Their asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions with cyclopentadiene have been studied under a wide range of uncatalyzed and catalyzed conditions and the stereochemical results have been explained by assuming a steric control approach, in term of S-cis or S-trans favoured conformations.Uncatalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of 1 and some Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of 2 show high facial and endo selectivities.The facial selectivity of dienophile 2 highly depends on the Lewis acid, whereas reactivity of 1 and 3 is very sensitive to the solvent.These sulfinylmaleates 1, 2 and 3 act as synthetic equivalents of chiral acetylenedicarboxylates in Diels-Alder reactions after basic elimination of the sulfinylic moiety in the resulting adducts.
Synthesis and Diels-Alder reactions of t-butyl and t-butyl, methyl (S)s-2-p-tolylsulfinylmaleates, chiral synthetic equivalents of monoalkyl and mixed dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates

The reaction of t-butyl p-tolylsulfinylacetate with glyoxylic acid yielded maleate monoester 1, whose methylation afforded asymmetric diester 2. Conditions in which 1 and 2 react with cyclopentadiene exhibiting high facial and endo selectivities are reported.
