Abstract

Abstract Tertiary cinnamides undergo cycloaddition with benzonitrile oxides producing the 5- phenyl and 4-phenyl regioisomers 2b and 3b in a 25–30: 75–70 ratio. This result is opposite to that obtained utilizing methyl cinnamate 1a as the dipolarophile. A synthetically useful method for the preparation of the acid 3c, derived from what is usually the minor regioisomer, has been developed by taking advantage of this reversal of regiochemistry.
