Enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of (E)-1-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene (I) with chiral (-)-menthyl (II) and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl (III) glyoxylates in various solvents without or with catalysts was studied. The reactions gave a mixture of trans-and cis-isomers of (-)-menthyl (IV) and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl (V) 2-trimethylsilyloxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-6-carboxylates. The regioselectivity of the reaction was explained by quantum-chemical calculations, the enantioselectivity was determined using 13C NMR spectroscopy and the absolute configuration of the addition products was assigned on the basis of chemical correlation with (S)-(-)-dimethyl malate.

4aα (chiral) and 4aβ (achiral) polymorphs of 1H-benzotriazole are studied by X-ray crystallography, SSNMR, IR, Raman, VCD, and quantum chemical calculations. The absolute configuration of the supramolecular structure of 4aα polymorph is determined.

)-4a-The structure of (-)-5-methyl-2-phenylthiazolidine (( -)-4a), an intermediate in the synthesis of (+)-1-amino-2-propanethiol · HCl ((+)-2 · HCl), was elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In contrast to earlier findings it was shown that the important intermediate ( -)-4a is not a single diastereomer but represents a 1:1 mixture of (2R,5Sand ((2S,5S)-4a-diastereomers. The absolute configuration of the (2S,3S)-di-O-(4-toluoyl)tartrate of the disulfide (5) derived from (+)-2 · HCl was determined to be (S,S) using X-ray technique.

The extent of asymmetric induction in the bimolecular Diels–Alder reactions of chiral o-quinodimethanes with dimethyl fumarate, methyl acrylate, and maleic anhydride has been studied. o-Quinodimethanes with chiral α-alkoxy groups were prepared from 1-alkoxy-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxides 4a–f or 1-alkoxy-3-phenyl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxides 4g–h by thermolysis. These alkoxybenzosulfones were prepared from the corresponding hydroxybenzosulfones 8 and 1-phenylethanol, 2-phenyl-1-propanol, 4-phenyl-2-butanol, 1-phenyl-2-propanol, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol, or 1-cyclo-hexylethanol. The 1-phenylethoxy substituent yielded the largest asymmetric induction. The absolute configurations of the major cycloadducts of methyl acrylate with the o-quinodimethanes generated from 1-(R- 1-phenylethoxy)- and 1-(S-1-phenylethoxy)-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxides 4i and 4j have been determined to be 1S,2S-1-(R-1-phenylethoxy)- and 1R,2R-1-(S-1-phenylethoxy)-2-carbomethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene 11i and 11j, respectively. The proposition that a chiral alkoxy substituent can block one face of the o-quinodimethane towards addition of a dienophile is discussed.

En route to sarcandralactone A 3, Scott A. Snyder of Scripps Florida effected (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 7842) Diels–Alder cycloaddition of the activated enone 1 to the Danishefsky diene. On exposure to trifluoroacetic acid, the adduct was unraveled to the ene dione 2. Michael N. Paddon-Row of the University of New South Wales and Michael S. Sherburn of the Australian National University prepared (Nature Chem. 2015, 7, 82) the allene 4 in enantiomerically-pure form. Sequential cycloaddition with 5 followed by 6 gave an adduct that was decarbonylated to 7. Further cycloaddition with nitro­ethylene 8 led to the pseudopterosin (−)-G-J aglycone 9. The protein–protein interaction inhibitor JBIR-22 12 contains a quaternary α-amino acid pendant to a bicyclic core. Nicholas J. Westwood of the University of St. Andrews set (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 4046) the absolute configuration of the core 11 by using an organocatalyst to activate the cyclization of 10. Metal catalysts can also be used to set the absolute configuration of a Diels–Alder cycloaddition. In the course of establishing the structure of the marine natural prod­uct muironolide A 15, Armen Zakarian of the University of California, Santa Barbara cyclized (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 5907) the enol form of 13 preferentially to the diastereomer 14. Unactivated intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloadditions have been carried out with more and more challenging substrates. A key step in the synthesis (Chem. Asian. J. 2015, 10, 427) of (−)-platencin 18 by Martin G. Banwell, also of the Australian National University, was the cyclization of 16 to 17. In another illustration of the power of the unactivated intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, Thomas J. Maimone of the University of California, Berkeley cyclized (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 1223) the tetraene 19 to the tricycle 20. Allylic chlo­rination followed by reductive cyclization converted 20 to chatancin 21.

Abstract Condensation of cytidine or uridine with ethyl levulinate leads to the acetals 1a/2a. The reac­tion would be expected to give mixtures of diastereoisom ers. As shown by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy only one diastereoisomer is formed. By spectroscopic comparison of 1a/2a with the corresponding adenosine acetal the absolute configuration of the new chiral centre was found to be R. The acetal m ethyl group of 1a/2a in exo-location can serve to distinguish the two m ethyl signals of O-2′,3′-isopropylidenecytidine and -uridine in the NM R spectra. On alkaline hydrolysis of the esters the acids 1b and 2b are formed, which can be condensed through their carboxyl groups with 6-aminohexylagarose. The affinity resins 3 and 4 contain 7.1 μmol and 7.6 μmol ligand/g moist gel respectively. A biospecificity of the new polymers to cytidine-and uridine converting enzymes is expected.
