J. Kiegiel et al., ASYMMETRIC HETERO-DIELS-ALDER ADDITION OF 1-METHOXYBUTA-1,3-DIENE TO (2R)-N-PYRUVOYL- AND (2R)-N-(PHENYLGLYOXYLOYL)BORNANE-10,2-SULTAM, Helvetica chimica acta, 81(9), 1998, pp. 1672-1680
Cycloadditions of 1-merhoxvbuta-1,3-diene to (2R)-N-pyruvoyl and (2R)-
N-(phenylglyoxyloyl)bornane-10,2-sultam ((-)-1b and (-)-1c, resp.) und
er high-pressure conditions are presented. The absolute configurations
of the cycloadducts 2b,c and of their resulting reduced alcohols 3b,c
are based on their X-ray analyses. The stereochemical course of these
reactions is discussed and compared to the inverse diastereoselectivi
ty observed for the analogous cycloaddition to (2R)-N-glyoxyloylbornan
e-10,2-sultam (1a).
