Tk. Yang et al., ASYMMETRIC DIELS-ALDER REACTION OF ALPHA-SULFINYLACRYLATE DERIVED FROM (1R, 2S, 3R)-3-MERCAPTOCAMPHAN-2-OL, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(1), 1996, pp. 57-60
The Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with a new chiral alpha-su
lfinylacrylate, which was prepared from MerCO[(1R, 2S, 3R)-3-mercaptoc
amphan-2-ol] at -78 degrees C in the presence of ZnCl2 produced an end
o-cycloadduct with 99.4% d.e. in 84% yield.
