The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction of benzaldehyde 2a with Danishefsky s diene 3a catalyzed by aluminum complexes has been investigated theoretically using semi-empirical calculations [14]. It was found that the reaction proceeds as a step-wise cycloaddition reaction with the first step being a nucleophilic-like attack of Danishefsky s diene 2a on the coordinated carbonyl compound leading to an aldol-like intermediate which is stabilized by interaction of the cation with the oxygen atom of the Lewis acid. The next step is the ring-closure step, giving the cycloaddition product. 

In the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of especially allyl anion type 1,3-dipoles with alkenes the formation of diastereomers has to be considered. In reactions of nitrones with a terminal alkene the nitrone can approach the alkene in an endo or an exo fashion giving rise to two different diastereomers. The nomenclature endo and exo is well known from the Diels-Alder reaction [3]. The endo isomer arises from the reaction in which the nitrogen atom of the dipole points in the same direction as the substituent of the alkene as outlined in Scheme 6.7. However, compared with the Diels-Alder reaction in which the endo transition state is stabilized by secondary 7t-orbital interactions, the actual interaction of the N-nitrone p -orbital with a vicinal p -orbital on the alkene, and thus the stabilization, is small [25]. The endojexo selectivity in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction is therefore primarily controlled by the structure of the substrates or by a catalyst. 

The first report on metal-catalyzed asymmetric azomethine ylide cycloaddition reactions appeared some years before this topic was described for other 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions [86]. However, since then the activity in this area has been very limited in spite of the fact that azomethine ylides are often stabilized by metal salts as shown in Scheme 6.40. 

Fischer-type carbene complexes, generally characterized by the formula (CO)5M=C(X)R (M=Cr, Mo, W X=7r-donor substitutent, R=alkyl, aryl or unsaturated alkenyl and alkynyl), have been known now for about 40 years. They have been widely used in synthetic reactions [37,51-58] and show a very good reactivity especially in cycloaddition reactions [59-64]. As described above, Fischer-type carbene complexes are characterized by a formal metal-carbon double bond to a low-valent transition metal which is usually stabilized by 7r-acceptor substituents such as CO, PPh3 or Cp. The electronic structure of the metal-carbene bond is of great interest because it determines the reactivity of the complex [65-68]. Several theoretical studies have addressed this problem by means of semiempirical [69-73], Hartree-Fock (HF) [74-79] and post-HF [80-83] calculations and lately also by density functional theory (DFT) calculations [67, 84-94]. Often these studies also compared Fischer-type and... 

Epoxidations of chiral allenamides lead to chiral nitrogen-stabilized oxyallyl catioins that undergo highly stereoselective (4 + 3) cycloaddition reactions with electron-rich dienes.6 These are the first examples of epoxidations of allenes, and the first examples of chiral nitrogen-stabilized oxyallyl cations. Further elaboration of the cycloadducts leads to interesting chiral amino alcohols that can be useful as ligands in asymmetric catalysis (Scheme 2). 

The kinetic stability of pentazole has been estimated by the activation energy of decomposition or retro-[3 -i- 2]-cycloaddition reaction of 19.8 kcal moL [107] and 19.5 kcal mol- [108] with a half-life of only 14 s at 298 K [108]. 

The base-stabilized germanimine (Me2Si)2(N-t-Bu)4Ge=N(SiMe3) does not react with benzophenone, even upon heating.72 Apparently, no other reactions between stable germanimines and simple carbonyl compounds have been investigated however, the reaction with a diketone, 3,5-di-r-butyl-ort/io-quinone, has. Both a [2 + 2] and a [2 + 4] cycloaddition reaction have been postulated the initially formed adducts are unstable and decompose (see Scheme 4). 

The temperature at which a cycloaddition reaction of a neopentylsilene takes place (detected by the elimination of LiCl) has turned out to be dependent on the reaction partners added as substrate. This implies that an interaction between the substrate and A or B or the substrate and C occurs somewhere along the reaction pathway depicted above. For the system Cl3SiCH=CH2/LiBut/R2C=NR it was observed that the imine initiates and supports the salt elimination from the species A/B. Based on the knowledge that silenes are stabilized by external donors [1] we conclude that with carbon unsaturated compounds x-donor interactions instead of cr-donor complexes may be possible as well for the lithiated species (D) as for the silene itself (E). 

Recently, [2+3] cycloaddition reaction of 2-acetyl-[l,2,3]diazaphosphole (6) with 9-diazofluorenes (96) has been reported [105, 106], From the reaction in cyclohexane at rt, bicyclic phosphirane 97 was obtained as a result of the loss of nitrogen from the initial cycloadduct (Scheme 30). The cycloadduct, 3-spiro substituted 3H-[l,2,4]diazaphospholo-fused [l,2,3]diazaphosphole (98) could be isolated in good yield at room temperature in one case (R=/Bu) its stability was assigned to the presence of bulky fert-butyl group at 7-position. Use of polar solvent like dichloromethane led to the cyclic trimeric compound 99 (Scheme 30). 

Reversible pyridine dissociation yields the non-Lewis base stabilized imido complex [Cp(NHAr) Ti=NAr] (54). This coordinatively unsaturated species undergoes a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with allene to give an azatitanocyclobutane (55), which is then protonated to the /mamido complex. Elimination of enamine occurs followed by isomerization to the energetically more favorable imine. 

The substitution of the exo-methylene hydrogen atoms of MCP with halogens seems to favor the [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction by stabilizing the intermediate diradical. Indeed, chloromethylenecyclopropane (96) reacts with acrylonitrile (519) to give a diastereomeric mixture of spirohexanes in good yield (Table 41, entry 2) [27], but was unreactive towards styrene and ds-stilbene. Anyway, it reacted with dienes (2,3-dimethylbutadiene, cyclopentadiene, cyc-lohexadiene, furan) exclusively in a [4 + 2] fashion (see Sect. 2.1.1) [27], while its... 

These routes are dimerization to furoxans 2 proceeding at ambient and lower temperatures for all nitrile oxides excluding those, in which the fulmido group is sterically shielded, isomerization to isocyanates 3, which proceeds at elevated temperature, is practically the only reaction of sterically stabilized nitrile oxides. Dimerizations to 1,2,4-oxadiazole 4-oxides 4 in the presence of trimethylamine (4) or BF3 (1 BF3 = 2 1) (24) and to 1,4,2,5-dioxadiazines 5 in excess BF3 (1, 24) or in the presence of pyridine (4) are of lesser importance. Strong reactivity of nitrile oxides is based mainly on their ability to add nucleophiles and particularly enter 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various dipolarophiles (see Sections 1.3 and 1.4). 

Some routes of chemical transformations of nitrile oxides connected with the problem of their stability were briefly discussed in Section 1.2. Here only two types of such reactions, proceeding in the absence of other reagents, viz., dimerization to furoxans and isomerization to isocyanates, will be considered. All other reactions of nitrile oxides demand a second reagent (in some cases the component is present in the same molecule, and the reaction takes place intramolecularly) namely, deoxygenation, addition of nucleophiles, and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Also, some other reactions are presented, which differ from those mentioned above. 

Kinetically stabilized germanothiones Tbt(Tip)Ge = S, Tbt(Dis)Ge = S and germanoselones Tbt(Tip)Ge = Se, Tbt(Dis)Ge = Se [Dis = bis(trimethylsilyl) methyl, Tbt = 2,4,6-trisbis(trimethylsilyl)methylphenyl, Tip = 2,4,6-tris(iso-propyl)phenyl], have been synthesized and have shown to enter 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with mesitonitrile oxide (361). 

Both C-alkylation products and the corresponding O-alkyl nitronates were detected in the reaction mixture prepared by the reactions of above mentioned salt with primary alkyl halides (Scheme 3.9, Eq. 1). However, isoxazolidines (1) are the main identified products of the reactions with secondary or tertiary alkyl halides. The possible pathway of their formation is shown in Scheme 3.9. Here, the key event is generation of the corresponding olefins from alkyl halides. These olefins can be trapped with O-nitronates that are simultaneously formed in [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions. Presumably, these olefins are generated through deprotonation of stabilized cationic intermediates (see Scheme 3.9).
