ChemInform Abstract: Periselectivity in Cycloadditions to Vinyl Methyl Ketene and Structurally Related Vinyl Ketene Imines.
Abstract
The vinylic ketenes or ketene imines (I) react with strongly electrophilic agents such as tetracyanoethylene (II) or phenyltriazolinedione (IV) to yield the 1,4-cycloadducts (III) or (V).
ChemInform Abstract
The vinylic ketenes or ketene imines (I) react with strongly electrophilic agents such as tetracyanoethylene (II) or phenyltriazolinedione (IV) to yield the 1,4-cycloadducts (III) or (V). Electron deficient partners such as the azodicarboxylate (VI) produce the 1,4-adduct (VII), together with the 1,2-adducts (VIII). Electron-rich olefins such as ethyl vinyl ether (IX) give predominantly 1,2-adducts such as (X).
