Keto-substituted 1,2-cyclohexadienes were generated by base-mediated (KOt-Bu) elimination, and found to dimerize via an unprecedented formal hetero-Diels-Alder process, followed by hydration. These highly reactive cyclic allene intermediates were also trapped in Diels-Alder reactions by furan, 2,5-dimethylfuran, or diphenylisobenzofuran to afford cycloadducts with high regio- and diastereoselectivity, and could also be intercepted in a hetero-Diels-Alder process with enamine dienophiles. Endo/exo stereochemistry was unambiguously determined via X-ray crystallography in the case of nitrile-substituted 1,2-cyclohexadiene. DFT calculations indicate that the novel hetero-Diels-Alder processes observed with these allenes occur via a concerted asynchronous cycloaddition mechanism.
酮取代的 1,2-环己二烯通过碱介导(KOt-Bu)消除生成,并通过前所未有的形式杂 Diels-Alder 过程发现二聚,随后进行水合。这些高反应性的环状丙二烯中间体还可以通过呋喃、2,5-二甲基呋喃或二苯并呋喃与 Diels-Alder 反应捕获,以高区域和立体选择性得到环加成产物,也可以与烯胺二烯试剂在杂 Diels-Alder 过程中被拦截。腈取代的 1,2-环己二烯的情况通过 X 射线晶体学明确确定了内/外立体化学。DFT 计算表明,与这些丙二烯观察到的新型杂 Diels-Alder 过程通过协同异步环加成机制发生。
