Progress in the Diels/Alder Reaction Means Progress in Steroid Synthesis

  • Conference paper
Stereoselective Synthesis

Abstract

The case history of achiral cantharidin reveals the development of unusual conditions under which the Diels/Alder reaction can play the key synthetic part.

The case history of chiral (-)-norgestrel demonstrates that the Diels/Alder reaction is going to become one of the best controllable structural transformations for enantioselective generation of molecular chirality through catalysis. There are, however, standard syntheses without a Diels/Alder reaction known.
