The diastereofacial selectivity of both inter- and intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions with dienes having an allylic stereogenic center has been studied by varying the allylic oxygen protective group. Four different hydroxy protective groups were investigated including benzyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, triethylsilyl, and t-butyldimethylsilyl ethers. For inter-molecular reactions, the benzyl ether derivative gave the highest pi-facial selectivity through a transition state in which the allylic stereocenter favors the CH eclipsed conformation. For intramolecular cycloadditions, the t-butyldimethylsilyl group gave a slightly higher selectivity than the benzyl ether derivative through a transition state in which the allylic stereocenter favors the CO eclipsed conformation. The opposite diastereofacial selectivity observed for inter- and intramolecular reactions is explained by considering both steric and electronic effects.
