Abstract

Cycloadditions of 2-furannitrile oxide (Ia), 5-nitro-2-furannitrile oxide (Ib), 5-(3-nitrophenyl)-2-furannitrile oxide (Ic), 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-furannitrile oxide (Id), and 2,5-dimethyl-3-dimethl-3-furannitrile oxide (Ie) with 4- or 2,6-disubstituted N-phenylmaleinimide are described. Investigated were also cycloadditions of 2,5-dimethyl-3-thiophenenitrile oxide (IVa), 2,4,5-trimethyl-3-thiophenenitrile oxide (IVb), 2,3-dimethyl-4-ethyl-3-thiophenenitrile oxide (IVc), 2,5-dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-3-thiophenenitrile oxide (IVd), and 3,5-di(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-thiophenenitrile oxide (V) with N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)maleinimide. The steric course of these reactions is discussed.
