ChemInform Abstract: New Studies and a Reinvestigation on (4 + 2) Cycloadditions of (-)- Thebaine: Asymmetrical Diels-Alder Reactions with a Conformationally Fixed Chiral Diene.
Some novel Diels-Alder reactions of the opium alkaloid (−)-thebaine (1) as an electron-rich diene and a reinvestigation of its reactions with cyclic and acyclic dienophiles are described. The π-facial selectivity has been studied on the basis of structural analyses of the cycloadducts. Some related results on [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of 1-methoxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene (11) are also reported.
