Abstract

Abstract : A linear hydrocarbon chain containing a diene and a dienophile is folded and transformed into a decalin scaffold by intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition. The substrates are folded oppositely but bind in the same orientation to the pockets of a pair of Diels–Alderases to yield enantiomeric decalin skeletons, as reported by Naoki Kato, Shunji Takahashi, Shingo Nagano, and co‐workers in their Research Article on page 22401 .
