title: Studies into the stereoselectivity of tartrate-derived dienophiles.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Diels-Alder reactions of 1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-1,3-butadiene (3) with three C2 symmetric dienophiles derived from tartaric acid have been examined. Complementary diastereoselectivity is observed depending on the nature of the 1,2-diol protecting group incorporated in these dienophiles.
