A concept of first choice for the synthesis of the title compounds had been proposed by Dane in the late 1930s. It was soon turned down, because the opening move - a chirogenic Diels-Alder reaction - did not work. With Lewis acids as mediators, however, a successful start has been achieved now. With Ti complexes of chelating ligands (Seebach's TADDOLs (= α,α,α',α'-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols)), enantioselective formation of the desired adducts does occur. Efficient total syntheses of 2 and 3a have been accomplished.

The chirogenic Diels/Alder reactions of the general pattern AB + D -> ABCD (i): 2 + 3 -> rac-8a (major) + rac-9a (minor) (85percent), (ii): 2 + 10a -> rac-11a (89percent) and (iii): 2 + 10b -> rac-11b (90percent), now have been accomplished in the presence of Lewis acid, (i): BF3*Et2O, (ii) or (iii): TiCl4.Case (iii) may be used as the initial move towards (+/-)-norgestrel (rac-14).
