Asymmetric Diels-Alder technolog

The Diels-Alder reaction, now more than 60 years old, has regained new prominence with the ability to use asymmetric technology to control relative and absolute stereochemistry while creating two new carbon-carbon bonds.1 3-5 6 As a result of the diversity of dienes and dienophiles, the application of asymmetric methodology to the Diels-Alder reaction has lagged behind other areas such as aldol reactions.3 However, considerable advances have been made in recent years through the use of chiral dienophiles and catalysts.3 6 21...
