Thermal Diels-Alder Reactions with N-(2-Alkenoyl)-(S)-proline Esters as Chiral Dienophiles Cyclopentadiene reacts with N-acryloyl-(S)-proline benzyl and allyl ester in toluene at 0°C to give the bicycloheptene-carboxylic acid amides with a stereoselection of (2S):(2R) = 81:19. In the reactions with the N,N′-fumaroylbis(proline esters) the cycloadducts are formed in high yields and with isomer ratios of up to 97:3. The absolute configuration of N,N′-〈(1R,2R,3R,4S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-diyldicarbonyl〉bis-[(S)-proline benzyl ester] (6 a) has been determined by an X-ray analysis. In the reactions of the acrylamides with cyclopentadiene and of the fumaramides with cyclopentadiene, isoprene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene the use of water/ethanol mixtures as solvent, if indicated in the presence of detergents, doubles the yields. However, a positive influence of the aqueous medium on the diastereomeric ratio can not be observed.
