Highly functionalised cyclohexa-1,3-dienes by sulfonyl Nazarov reagents

The Hayashi–Jørgensen organocatalyst has made possible a sulfonyl Nazarov analogue reagent to give a Diels–Alder reaction at the double bond, without involving the activated methylene affording chiral highly functionalised cyclohexa-1,3-dienes.
