D. Regas et al., Vinyl-allenes as dienes in the Lewis acid-mediated hetero Diels-Alder reaction with aldehydes, TETRAHEDR L, 41(35), 2000, pp. 6781-6784
The Lewis acid-mediated, hetero Diels-Alder reaction of a vinyl-allene syst
em with aldehydes as heterodienophiles has been carried out. In the cases s
tudied, only two cycloadducts have been obtained, which correspond to the e
ndo (major compound) and exo (minor compound) approach of the aldehyde thro
ugh the less hindered face of the dienic system. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
