A. Zhang et al., Asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of chiral pinanediol 1,3-dienylboronates with azo-compounds, TETRAHEDRON, 57(12), 2001, pp. 2305-2309
The asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-dienylboronates 1a and 1b
with ate-compounds was investigated. The inductive effect of the methyl in
1,3-dienylboronate 1a resulted in an unusual product 7, while the normal c
ycloadduct 8 could be obtained as the single stereoisomer by using 1,3-dien
ylboronate 1b. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
