1-(Benzenesulfonyl-diazoacetyl)-pyrrolidin-2-one was prepared by a diazo transfer of 1-( benzenesulfonylacetyl)-pyrrolidin-2-one with p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide and triethylamine. Treatment of the diazoimide with a catalytic quantity of rhodium (II) acetate resulted in the formation of an isomünchnone dipole, which underwent bimolecular trapping with various dipolarophiles in high yield. The initially formed cycloadducts were not ...
