Abstract
1-Alkoxy-1-amino-1,3-butadienes undergo Diels-Alder (DA) and hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions under mild reaction conditions with a variety of electron-deficient dienophiles. The hydrolysis of the DA cycloadducts provides 6-substituted and 6,6-disubstituted 2-cylohexenones in good yields with excellent regioselectivities, whereas HDA cycloadducts afford 6-substituted 5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones.
