摘要:
                                The Diels-Alder (DA) and hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction of N-(2,4-dicyano-1,5-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopenta-2,4-dienyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide 1 can be conveniently used for the synthesis of biarylic and polycyclic compounds, depending on whether you use alkynes or alkenes as dienophiles. We observe a totally regioselectivity and endo-diastereoselectivity of the cycloaddition reactions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
