Diastereoselective asymmetric intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of 5,5-(t
rimethylenedithio)-2(E),7(E),9-decatrienoyl amides (13a-e) having various c
hiral auxiliaries was performed to give optically active trans-hydrindanes,
which would be an important intermediate for a total synthesis of plakoten
in (1), was described. In the several chiral auxiliaries, Saigo's oxazolidi
none was found to give trans-hydrindane (15a) in the highest stereoselectiv
ity (96% e.e.), after conversion to benzyl ester.
