THERMAL AND LEWIS ACID-PROMOTED ASYMMETRIC HETERO-DIELS-ALDER REACTION OF A 1-THIABUTA-1,3-DIENE SYSTEM (THIOCHALCONE) WITH CHIRAL ACRYLIC ESTERS AND N-ACRYLOYL-CARBOXIMIDE AND N-CROTONYL-CARBOXIMIDE

Thermal and Lewis acid-promoted asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reaction
s of the thiabutadiene 1 with the chiral dienophiles 2-5 derived from
(-)-menthol, (+)-borneol and (-)-4-benzyloxazolidinone affords the opt
ically active dihydrothiopyran derivatives. The chiral induction is in
the range 13-92% d.e. depending mainly upon the auxiliary chiral grou
ps. The absolute configuration of the endo cycloadducts is confirmed b
y the derivatization based on X-ray crystallographic analysis.
