Enantiomeric diastereomers can be selectively obtained from the fumarate 1 and dienes. For instance, the uncatalyzed Diels‐Alder reaction of 1 with cyclopentadiene gives preferentially the diastereomer 2a ( 2a : 2b = 98 :2); with TiCl 4 as catalyst, on the other hand, 2b is the main product ( 2a : 2b = 5 :95). Analogous results were obtained for less reactive dienes [R * OH = ( S )‐ethyl lactate].
