- crystal X-ray analysis (CCDC 2201614). As evinced by the NMR data, only one diastereomer of product 3aa was obtained. Contrary to the isoxazole-annulated products of a [3 + 2] cycloaddition of nitrones to FPDs [35], product 3aa appears to be stable on storage in solution, which was confirmed by the fact

- spirocyclic 1,4,2-dioxazole derivatives [13][14]. Furthermore, for photochemically generated benzonitrile isopropanide, competitive C=O and C=C additions with 1,4-quinones were observed [15]. On the other hand, the slightly less polar benzonitrile benzylide underwent [3 + 2]-cycloaddition to the C=C bond
- -thiadiazoles as the products of [3 + 2]-cycloaddition to the C=S bond [25]. Taking into account that fluorinated heterocycles [31][32][33][34], including pyrazoles [31][35][36], are of great significance for various medicinal and agricultural applications, the development of new methods for the construction of
- fluorine-containing organic molecules combined with the 1,4-quinone moiety can be considered as a challenging problem of current organic synthesis. Thus, the main goal of the present study was to check the course of [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions of electron-deficient CF3-substituted nitrile imines 7 with

Interestingly, these new copper-based complexes have shown excellent activity in the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of azides/sulfonyl azides and alkynes (Scheme 1, right) [22
- diphenylamine, only 20% of the desired product was observed (12c). Interestingly, with benzyl azide, a substrate not containing a sulfonyl moiety, the product obtained is the 1,2,3-triazole derivative [33], resulting from a [3 + 2] cycloaddition of azide and alkyne (Scheme 6). The catalytic system was also
