Synthesis of liverwort sesquiterpene (-)-isocuparene (herbertene) via a Diels-Alder reaction using phenylethylamine as chiral auxiliary

The imine of 2-methylcyclopentanone with (S)-(-)-phenylethylamine was subjected to reaction with methyl propiolate and the product was transformed into (-)-isocuparene by use of a Diels-Alder reaction to construct the aromatic ring.
