Ck. Sha et al., ENHANCEMENT OF DIASTEREOFACIAL SELECTIVITY BY PROTECTING GROUPS - ASYMMETRIC DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS OF 2-SILOXYFURANS DERIVED FROM L-ASCORBIC-ACID, Tetrahedron letters, 36(8), 1995, pp. 1283-1286
Diastereoselectivity in asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of chiral 2-si
loxyfurans with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) depending on th
e protecting groups in the allylic stereogenic centers or the molecule
s in the presence of the (+)-Eu(hfc)(3) catalyst was described.
