Stereochemical control of the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction by remote allylic substituents on the diene

Abstract

Intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions of substrates with stereocontrolling elements attached to the diene terminus provide exo-cycloadducts in good yields and high diastereofacial selectivity.
