| Abstract: | CuI‐catalyzed enantioselective nitroso‐Diels–Alder reactions (NDA reactions) of 2‐nitrosopyridine with various dienes are presented. The CuPF6(MeCN)4]/Walphos‐CF3 catalyst system is best suited to catalyze the NDA reaction of various dienes by using 2‐nitrosopyridine as a dienophile. In most of the cases studied, cycloadducts are obtained in quantitative yield with very good to excellent enantioselectivities. Based on DFT calculations, a model to explain the stereochemical outcome of the NDA reaction is presented. Finally, an efficient short synthesis of (?)‐peracetylated conduramine A‐1 by applying the enantioselective NDA reaction as a key step is described. |
