Temporary in situ aluminum and zinc tethering in Diels-Alder reactions
[formula: see text] Temporary tethering using aluminum or zinc in Diels-Alder reactions made possible the use of otherwise "noncompatible" combinations of dienes and dienophiles, resulting in the one-step formation of substituted cyclohexene 1,2-bis-methanols. Excellent regioselectivity and also significant stereoselectivity were obtained.
