Hetero Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions with nitroso dienophiles R-N=O are reviewed within the scope of natural product synthesis. These cycloadditions often represent the pivotal reaction step of a total synthesis, because of their high stereo- and regioselective outcome; also because of the introduction of multifunctionality as a direct consequence of the HDA cycloaddition. Asymmetric total syntheses are particularly emphasised using chiral dienes or chiral nitroso dienophiles. 1. Introduction 2. Nitroso Dienophiles 3. Conduramines and Inosamines 4.
