Abstract
Chiral olefinic acetals derived from crotonaldehyde undergo ionic Diels- Alder reaction giving the corresponding cycloadducts in moderate to good diastereoselectivities. A variety of achiral olefinic acetals react with isoprene and cyclopentadiene to form the cycloadducts in good to excellent yields when catalysed by 4M LiClO4 in nitromethane or by Nafion-H in dichloromethane.
