The reaction of dihalohydrazones with Hünig's base gives 1-carbethoxy-3-phenyl-4- haloazodienes in-situ, which were found to combine with a variety of electron rich olefins to yield halo-substituted tetrahydropyridazines (Scheme 2 and Table 1). These haloazodiene cyclizations are best characterized as inverse electron demand, 4+ 2 hetero Diels-Alder reactions that maintain a high degree of regio-and stereochemical control (Schemes 5 ...
