Asymmetric induction in the high-pressure cycloaddition of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde to 1-methoxybuta-1,3-diene

Abstract
The high-pressure cycloaddition of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde (7) to 1-methoxybuta-1,3-diene (1) afforded the diastereoisomeric cycloadducts (3) for which the diastereoisomeric excess and absolute configuration have been determined.
