Abstract

Diels-Alder cycloadditions of oximinosulfonate 8 with a variety of 1, 3-dienes proceed with regiochemistry opposite to that observed with conventional imino dienophiles, providing expeditious synthetic routes to substituted pyridines, tetrahydropyridines, and pyrrolines. The oximinosulfonate 8 is prepared in one convenient synthetic operation from Meldrum's acid and reacts with conjugated dienes at-78° C in the presence of 2 equiv of ...
