Asymmetric synthesis of polycyclic heterocycles & application to the synthesis of comosidine

This work demonstrates the use of a Diels-Alder/retro Diels-Alder approach using a chiral anthracene auxiliary to control the stereochemistry of subsequent reactions. A range of N-substituted maleimide cycloadducts have been prepared and asymmetric transformations undertaken to give N-acyliminium io...
