IMDA reactions on chiral perhydro-1,3-benzoxazines, derived from (-)-8-amino menthol, bearing a styrene substituent at C-2 acting as diene and an acryl amide acting as dienophile occur with high stereoselection and excellent chemical yields. After elimination of the chiral appendage, enantiopure 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydrobenz[f]isoindolines are prepared in this way. The effect of the substituents at both diene and dienophile are studied, showing that a methyl group at C-1 in the diene inhibited the reaction, while the ene adduct, instead of the IMDA product, was obtained when a methyl group was at C-2.
