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...
