Experimental and theoretical study of a Diels-Alder reaction between a sugar-derived nitroalkene and cyclopentadiene

Carbohydr Res. 2011 Mar 1;346(4):460-4. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2010.12.006. Epub 2010 Dec 13.

Abstract

The Diels-Alder reaction of a pyranose-derived nitroalkene 1 with cyclopentadiene is described, and the unexpected facial selectivity of the cycloaddition is analyzed by a computational study.
