Abstract
The reduction of 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene with zinc powder followed by cycloaddition with the chiral dienophile (4R,5S)-1-acryloyl-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-2-imidazolidinone in the presence of BF3·Et2O under ultrasound irradiation gave the corresponding Diels–Alder cycloadduct in high yield (90%) and high diastereoselectivity (R:S = 87:13).
