Arabinose-derived auxiliaries in asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction

Abstract
The readily available auxiliary alcohol, benzyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-L-arabinopyranoside (1), is shown to be superior to its methyl-congener (2) in asymmetric induction capacity, attributable to a more efficient shielding by the phenyl ring.
