Di-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(9-anthryl)ethyl fumarate has been synthesized from fumaric acid and enantiopure Pirkle alcohol. The Diels–Alder reaction with different dienes employing different reaction conditions was assayed, with high diastereomeric excesses obtained. The structure and geometry of the cycloadducts was analyzed by NMR, molecular mechanics and X-ray diffraction. Hydrolysis made it possible to obtain the enantioenriched trans-cyclohexene-4,5-dicarboxylate derivatives and allow us to recover chiral auxiliary.
