22. We use a four-letter notation to describe the configuration and conformation of template molecules. The first letter is either N or X to indicate an endo or exo Diels-Alder product, respectively. The latter distinction is based on the relative orientation of the C=C double bond to the maleimide ring. We employed the C=C double bond also as a reference to describe the relative orientation of the 5-pyridinylaminocarbonylmethyl substituent (second letter) and of the carboxymethyl substituent (third letter). R/S (fourth letter) is determined by the absolute configuration of the precursor diene.
