Abstract

[Introduction] The Diels-Aider reaction is one of the most powerful and widely exploited methods available for generating six-membered rings. Similarly, the intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA), in which the diene and dienophile reacting partners are tethered, has received a great deal of attention from synthetic chemists in recent years. The IMDA usually proceeds with excellent levels of regio- and stereocontrol to generate complex bicyclic systems with up to four contiguous stereocenters from relatively simple precursors. There have been a number of efforts to develop diastereoselective variants of the IMDA, but there are considerably fewer examples of catalytic, asymmetric IMDA variants.
