Abstract
The reactions of (S)-2-p-tolylsulfinyl-2-cyclopentenone with Dane's diene catalyzed by EtAlCl2 yields adducts easily desulfinylated into optically pure perhydro-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrenes. The endo- (controlled by CO group) and regio- (controlled by the substituent at C-2 of diene) selectivities of the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction are complete. The π-facial selectivity is also very high and dependent on both the sulfinyl configuration and the amount of EtAlCl2 used.
