An enantioselective approach to analogues of the pseudopterosin family of structures, which entails the Diels-Alder reaction of a ß-nitroacrylate derivative (dimethyl (E)-3-nitro-2-pentenedioate) with an (S)-carvone-derived silyloxydiene [(3S,6S)-3 - (1,2- isopropylidenedioxy-1-methylethyl) - 6 - methyl -1- (1- trimethylsilyloxyethenyl)-1-cyclohexene], is described.
