A. Franz et al., THE PREPARATION AND THE CASCADE REACTIONS OF N-BUTADIENYL-N-ALKYLKETENE N,O-TERT-BUTYLDIMETHYLSILYL ACETALS, Tetrahedron, 52(35), 1996, pp. 11643-11656
The preparation of N-butadienyl-N-alkylketene N,O-tert-butyldimethylsi
lyl acetals (11a-d) from readily available starting materials is descr
ibed. The cascade Diels-Alder reaction followed by acylation of these
ketene acetals yields bicyclic and tricyclic products 7, 13a,b and 14c
,d with high diastereoselectivity. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
