Exploring the Limits of Reactivity of N-Methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (MeTAD) with Disubstituted Bicycloalkadienes in the Homo-Diels–Alder Reaction

Gary W. Breton & Kenneth L. Martin · Organics · 2022

The [2+2+2] cycloaddition (homo-Diels–Alder reaction) of N-substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones (TADs) with bicycloalkadienes produces strained heterocyclic compounds. A reaction with the unsubstituted dienes occurs readily to produce only the expected homo-Diels–Alder adducts...

[1.1.1]Propellane, a compound whose structure includes two saturated carbons in which all four bonds are directed into a single hemisphere, is of theoretical interest, but has also seen recent practical applications. Mono-, di-, and trisubstituted derivatives of this propellane (...
