What is Cycloaddition Across The Benzofuran Ring As An Approach To The Morphine Alkaloids about?

The document discusses using an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of amidofurans tethered to a benzofuran ring as an approach to synthesizing morphine alkaloids. Bromo substitution on the furan ring did not activate it enough for cycloaddition across the aromatic benzofuran. However, a large o-methylbenzyl group on the amido nitrogen causes the reactive s-trans conformation and facilitates cycloaddition across a tethered benzofuran.
