An asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and a new chiral dienophile is described.Excellent diastereofacial selectivity can now be achieved even in the absence of a catalyst.The stereochemical result of this reaction has been rationalized on the basis of a rigid hydrogen-bonded cisoid conformation of the ketol-type dienophile.
