Abstract
Single regioisomeric cycloadduct IIa was formed in a 35% yield upon cycloaddition of the title nitrone Ia with benzofuran. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition proceeded with derivatives of 4-R-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole V or VI to the furan ring to form only one regioisomer VIIa or VIIIa in a high yield (93-95%). Dehydrogenation of the latter with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone led to the nitrone X or XII. Also C,N-diphenylnitrone reacted with furopyrroles to afford the cycloadduct VIIIb. Exclusively endo-cycloadducts originated; their transition state was stabilized by secondary orbital interactions.
