Stereochemistry of Product
« on: October 06, 2014, 02:06:29 PM »
Hi everyone,

I need help with this problem, I'm attaching a picture of the reactants. I need to draw the product with correct stereochem, and I'm having trouble. I know this is a standard Diels-Alder mechanism, just need some insight...

THANKS!!!

Are you sure this is a Diels-Alder reaction?
Can you draw the product?

I think you'll find that the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition gives products where the substituents are all on the same side of the molecule:
[H][C@@]1(CCC2)[C@@]2([H])[C@H](C(OC)=O)N(C3=CC=CC=C3)[C@@H]1C(OC)=O

Note the SMILES engine gave this a chiral flag, it's not chiral.
