In 2020, Alemán and colleagues [53] proposed an approach in which ketene 48 and diene 49 condense with the help of diamine 51 to afford cyclobutane product 50 (Scheme 18). The reaction could be catalyzed by a simple diamine due to

- being higher in energy than TS6. As mentioned before, after the slow cyclization step in TS3, we focused our analysis on the transformation of the bicyclic intermediate IV to the final diene product. Basically, the final steps have to include a deprotonation, protodeauration, and in some cases acetate
- believe that the higher thermodynamic stability of XV (4.4 kcal⋅mol−1 lower than for XII), which is due to the conjugation of the nitrogen atom and the diene system, accounts for the preferential formation and the consequent formation of 15. It cannot be overlooked that the formation of the intermediates

- alkenyl dialkynylphosphinates (Scheme 4) [31]. Thus, the possibility to perform a desymmetrizing RCEYM of oxaenediynes, which should lead to chiral compounds bearing both alkyne and conjugated diene systems, seemed highly appealing to us. Before addressing the enantioselective RCEYM, we report in this

- School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Osaka University, Yamadaoka 1-6, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan 10.3762/bjoc.16.150 Abstract β-Nitrostyrenes underwent a Diels–Alder reaction with Danishefsky’s diene to afford cyclohexenes together with the corresponding hydrolyzed products, 3-arylated-5-methoxy-4
- with Danishefsky’s diene could be conducted in one pot to directly afford the corresponding nitrophenols. Moreover, a heteroaryl group, e.g., a thienyl group could be introduced into the nitrophenol framework. Keywords: 3-arylated-4-nitrophenol; Danishefsky’s diene; Diels–Alder reaction; nitroalkene
- reaction, a C2 unit possessing a nitro group and an aryl group at the vicinal position is incorporated into the products. This unique reactivity prompted us to probe the synthesis of the 3-arylated-4-nitrophenols 5 by the Diels–Alder reaction of nitrostyrenes 1 with Danishefsky’s diene (2, the

- . Accordingly, the R2 substituent in the diene would play an important role in directing the endo/exo orientation of the approach to the maleimide at the transition state (TS). Therefore, the endo diastereoselectivity is apparently not controlled by the presence or the absence of the substituent bonded to the
- nitrogen atom of the heterocycle. Since it is not clear what factors favor this relevant selectivity, the geometry and energy of the TSs were calculated for some of the diene–dienophile pairs depicted in Table 2 (vide infra). Cyclization via an intramolecular Heck arylation reaction Before attempting the

Firstly, the geometry and energy of the TSs and the associated minima along the reaction coordinates of the N-substituted diene 8g with maleimide 7c were calculated at the M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory [48][49][50][51] on the Gaussian 09 program [52].

This strategy

The solvent was removed by evaporation, and the resulting crude material was purified by chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/EtOAc 99:1) to afford the spirocyclic diene.
