Abstract
The Diels Alder reaction of 1-vinyl-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexene 4 and 3 -(methoxycarbonyl)propenoyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one 5 under high pressur e, catalyzed by a chiral bis-imine copper(II) complex, yields a driman e sesquiterpene precursor in a highly regio- and diastereoselective ma nner with enantioselectivities up to 64%; nearly enantiomerically pure material is obtained by one simple crystallization.
