J. Zylber et al., ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF METHYL NYLETHYL)-3-AZA-10-OXATRICYCLO[5.2.1.0(1,5)]-4-OXO DEC-8-EN-6-CARBOXYLATE BY AN INTRAMOLECULAR DIELS-ALDER REACTION, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(2), 1995, pp. 377-380
The title compound can be obtained with up to five asymmetric centres
of known absolute configuration by a diastereoselective intramolecular
Diels-Alder reaction between optically active N-substituted furfuryla
mines and maleic anhydride, in which the chirality is transferred from
one stereocentre to the four others.
