The Diels–Alder reaction of ethyl 3-(1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-1,2-diaza-1,3-butadiene- 1-carboxylate with 2-acetyl-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran (methyl vinyl ketone dimer) regios- electively afforded the corresponding 3-(tetrazol-5-yl)-hexahydro-7H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyridazine in quantitative yield. An X-ray crystal structure of this cycloadduct is reported.
A one-pot regio- and stereoselective synthesis of a dipyrromethane and a bis(indolyl)methane based on two consecutive reactions of nitrosoalkenes with pyrrole or indole, respectively, is described as an experiment to be carried out by upper-division undergraduate students in a laboratory classroom. Importantly, the ability of electrophilic conjugated nitrosoalkenes to react via Michael addition or hetero-Diels−...
A successful one-pot methodology for the synthesis of chiral 2-tetrazolyl-2H-azirines has been established, resorting to organocatalysis. The protocol involves the in situ tosylation of β-ketoxime-1H-tetrazoles followed by the Neber reaction, in the presence of chiral organocatalysts. Among the organocatalysts studied a novel thiourea catalyst derived from 6β-aminopenicillanic acid afforded excellent enantiosel...

5,5′-Diethyl- and 5-phenyldipyrromethanes participate in cycloadditions with azo- and nitrosoalkenes giving dipyrromethanes with side chains containing open chain oximes and hydrazones. By controlling reaction stoichiometry it is possible to get mono or 1,9-disubstituted derivatives. The reported methodology gave access to a range of dipyrromethanes with good structural features for various applications. It was...
Ethyl 3-(2-pyridyl)-2H-azirine-2-carboxylate, the first example of an 3-heteroamatic-2H-azirine, was prepared and its reaction with conjugated 1,3-dienes, under mild conditions and in the absence of Lewis acid catalyst, produced cycloadducts in good yield and high stereoselectivity.
The 2H-azirine 1 acts as an effective radical acceptor for secondary and tertiary alkyl iodides mediated by triethylborane. The addition proceeds with high regio- and diastereo-selectivity.
