Synthetic studies directed towards understanding facial selection in diels-alder reactions

Chapter 1 of this thesis briefly introduces the Diels-Alder reaction and highlights the stereochemical aspects of the reaction including endo versus exo addition, regioselectivity and π-facial selectivity. Some examples of systematic studies of π-facial selectivities are given. In Chapter 2 the syn...
