title: Cleavable chiral auxiliaries in 8pi (8pi, 6pi) electrocyclizations.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Low to moderate diastereoselectivity was observed in the 8pi electrocyclization of a series of chiral auxiliary-bearing tetraenic esters. In the 8-arylmenthyl series, diastereomeric products were separated by chromatography.
