The asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction between 2-(E-2-acetoxyvinyl)-8-tert-butyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene (8) and enantiopure (SS)-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (1) takes place exclusively on the unsubstituted C-5-C-6 double bond of (SS)-1 with a very high control of the chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivity of the process affording tetracyclic sulfinyl derivative 13a possessing five stereogenic centers. The analogue diene 9, lacking the tert-butyl group, gave a less chemoselective reaction (C-2-C-3/C-5-C-6: 60/40) in favor of reaction through the sulfoxide-substituted double bond C-2-C-3 of 1. Steric effects of the remote tert-butyl group and electronic factors due to the OAc substituent are controlling the process.
