1. Diene-Transmissive Diels–Alder Cycloaddition Sequences of [3]- and
[4]Dendralene with the Prototypical Olefinic Dienophile
The
first synthesis of all five possible monomethylated [4]dendralenes has
been achieved via two distinct synthetic strategies. The Diels–Alder
chemistry of these new dendralenes (as multidienes) with an electron
poor dienophile, N-methylmaleimide (NMM), has been studied. Thus,
simply upon mixing the dendralene and an excess of dienophile at
ambient temperature in a common solvent, sequences of cycloadditions
result in the rapid generation of complex multicyclic products. Distinct
product distributions are obtained with differently substituted
dendralenes, demonstrating that dendralene substitution influences the
pathway followed, when a matrix of mechanistic possibilities exists.
Dendralene site selectivities are traced to electronic, steric and
conformational effects, thereby allowing predictive tools for
applications of substituted dendralenes in future synthetic endeavors.
