On the Reaction between 1-Aza-1,3-dienes and Push-Pull Olefins of the Acyloxymethylidene-malononitrile Type
摘要:
The reaction between push-pull olefins of the acyloxymethyiidene-malononitrile type and alpha,beta-unsaturated hydrazones affords selectively 5-alkyl-2-cyano-6-(N',N'-dimethylhydrazono)-hexa-2,4-dienenitriles. No [4+2]-cycloaddition products were detected. The structure elucidation of the obtained compounds and possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.
Diels-Alder Reactions of Push-Pull Olefins I. Reactions of Dicyanovinyl Acylates with Cyclopentadiene, 1,3-Cyclohexadiene, and Anthracene
摘要:
The reaction between 2,2-dicyanoethenyl acylates and cyclopentadiene affords 2-acyloxy-3,3-dicyano-5-norbornene derivatives with significant stereoselectivity. Reactions between the less reactive 1,3-cyclohexadiene and anthracene require elevated temperatures and extended reaction times. Stereoselectivity of the reactions with 1,3-cyclohexadiene is higher than of those with cyclopentadiene.
