Abstract
Diels-Alder reactions of two allenes, diphenyl(1,2-propadienyl)phosphane ox ide (4) and 1,2-propadienyltrichloromethyl sulfone (7), with cyclic dienes were studied. While 4 only reacted with cyclopentadiene, to provide the end o adduct 5, the allene 7 proved to be much more reactive. Thus, the cycload dition between 7 and N-Boc-pyrrole gave a mixture of the endo and exo adduc ts 9. The observed reactivities could be rationalized by semiempirical MO c alculations.
