The first enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction of nitroso compound utilizing tartaric acid ester as a chiral auxiliary
The first regio- and enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction of nitroso compound with dienol has been realized utilizing tartaric acid ester as a chiral auxiliary and the corresponding cycloadduct was obtained in complete regioselectivity with excellent enantioselectivity up to 92% ee.
