K. Takaoka et al., Cycloaddition reactions of trimethylsilylketene with 8-azaheptafulvenes and 6-amino-1-azafulvenes, HETEROCYCLE, 54(1), 2001, pp. 209-215
Trimethylsilylketene smoothly reacts with 8-azaheptafulvenes to give 3, 3a-
dihydro-3-trimethylsilyl-1-azaazulen-2(1H)-ones, the [8+2] cycloadducts, in
excellent yields. Furthermore, trimethylsilylketene also undergoes the [62] cycloaddition reaction with 6-amino-1-azafulvenes to afford 1H-pyrrolizi
n-3(2H)ones.
