title: Exo-selective asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of acrylate ester.
abstract: Diels-Alder reaction of 2-acryloyloxy-2'-(2-pyridylazo)-1,1'-binaphthyl with cyclopentadiene in the presence of an equimolar amount of tin(IV) chloride showed unusual exo-selectivity with a high degree of diastereofacial differentiation.
