Intermolecular hetero Diels-Alder reactions of the heterodiene 3 [N-(4-ethoxy-1,2-dioxo-3-butenyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one] with (Z)-1-acetoxy-2-ethoxyethene (4) and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (7) were studied in the presence of several Lewis acids and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMS-OTf). Depending on the Lewis acid used a stereoselective formation of either the endo- or the exo-Diels-Alder product was observed.
