Cycloaddition reactions. Addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 1-dimethylaminoindene
Keyword(s):
The cycloaddition of 1-dimethylaminoindene (2) to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to form a fused cyclobutene system 3 is discussed. Compound 3 underwent two modes of ring opening to yield either the indene–maleate system 4 or the benzocycloheptatriene system 5 depending on reaction conditions. The synthesis of a number of multifunctional benzotropones from 5 is discussed.
