Starting from the enantiomerically pure monoterpenes (+)-pulegone (3), (+)-limonene (7), (−)-β-pinene (9), (+)- and (−)-camphor (13) or (+)-cholestenone (11) the chiral alcohols 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 et 18 were prepared; their acrylates II underwent a TiCl₄-promoted Diels-Alder addition to cyclopentadiene (Scheme 3, Table) giving in a predictable manner either the (2R)- or the (2S)-adducts III with 63 to 88% asymmetric induction.
