AUXILIARY-CONTROLLED SITE SELECTIVITY [4-UNSATURATED CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS TO 4,4-BIS-(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)-SUBSTITUTED HETERO-1,3-DIENES(2] CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS OF ALPHA,BETA)

[4+2] Cycloaddition reactions of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compo
unds to bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-hetero-3-azabuta-1,3-dienes occur exclu
sively across the carbon-oxygen double bond. A complete change of site
selectivity is observed in the presence of equimolar amounts of 4-dim
ethylaminopyridine (DMAP).
