Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reactions of Chiral Isoprenyl Ethers with Reactive Dienophiles The chiral alcohols 2 react with 3-ethoxy-2-methylacrolein (1) to yield chiral 3-alkoxy-2-methylacroleins 3, which are transformed to the chiral isoprenyl ethers 5 by Wittig methylenation in good yields. 1,3-Dienes 5 undergo [4+2] cycloadditions with reactive dienophiles such as maleic anhydride (6) or 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3,5-dione (PTAD, 8) to afford the chiral cycloadduct 7 and 9 in moderate to good yield and diastereomeric excess. The resolution of the racemic alcohol trans-2-mesitylcyclohexanol 2d is reported.
