Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627-0216, USA.

Published: October 2010

Diels-Alder reactions of cyclic isoimidium salts are described. The corresponding cycloadducts are obtained with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The use of homochiral cyclic isoimidium salts delivers cycloadducts with excellent diastereoselectivity (>99:1) that can be efficiently converted to enantiomerically pure lactones.

Regiospecific Ficini [2 + 2] cycloaddition of ynamides with cyclic isoimidium salts under catalyst-free conditions.

Org Lett

August 2014

Key Laboratory of Synthetic and Natural Functional Molecular Chemistry of the Ministry of Education, College of Chemistry & Materials Science, Northwest University, Xi'an 710069, China.

The regiospecific [2 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclic isoimidium salts with ynamides is described. This effort led to the development of the first successful example of a catalyst-free, thermally driven Ficini [2 + 2] cycloaddition process of ynamides with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, giving the stable cyclobutenamides in excellent yields (up to 99%).
