5-N,C-Disubstituted cyclopentadienes for facially selective Diels-Alder reactions

This thesis describes research on the Diels-Alder facial selectivities of 5-N,C-disubstituted cyclopentadienes. Two novel chiral cyclopentadienes were created, both display facial selectivity in Diels-Alder reactions. Moreover, the two cyclopentadienes display opposing facial selectivities, and thus...
