Diels‐Alder Reaction of Racemic β1‐Isopropyl‐α1‐methylene‐β1‐lactone with Enantiomerically Pure 5,6,7,7a‐Tetrahydro‐7a‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐4 H 1‐indene and Retro Cleavage of the Resulting Spiro‐β1‐lactones: The First Case of a Perfect Topological Resolution

The racemic β1‐isopropyl‐α1‐methylene‐β1‐lactone 1 undergoes a configuration‐dependent, highly selective [4 + 2] cycloaddition to the enantiomerically pure cyclopentadiene 2 ; chromatographic separation of the adducts and subsequent thermal retro cleavage provide the pure enantiomers ( S )‐ 1 and ( R )‐ 1 in 99% e.e.
