Methyl acrylate, from

Furthermore, regioselectivities89 as well as the diastereofacial selectivities90,91 may be increased in the presence of Lewis acids (Table 8). For instance, AICI3 OEt2 improves the ewrfo-selectivity of the reaction of cyclopentadiene and methyl acrylate from 82% to 98%87. The astonishing rate accelerations, the improved yields and higher selectivities make the Lewis acid catalysed Diels-Alder reaction one of the most important organic reactions.

When the enamine below reacts with methyl acrylate, the ester group is oriented below the plane of the page. So, approach by the electrophile from the back face of the ring is hindered, resulting in the S enantiomer being the minor product. In contrast, since the approach of methyl acrylate from the top face of the ring is unimpeded by this substituent, the R enantiomer is the major product.
