Notes:
Olefins with captodative substitution are reactive dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions with normal and inverse electron demand. This is shown for reactions of 2-(tert-butylthio)acrylonitrile (1) with various dienes and heterodienes, e.g. 1,3-cyclohexadiene, hexachloro-1, 3-cyclopentadiene, acrolein, methacrolein, and methyl vinyl ketone (Schemes 2 and 3). In case of the hetrodienes, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans are formed beside small amounts of tetrahydrothiophenes; however, with methyl vinyl ketone, both reaction pathways are equally followed. The high reactivity of captodative olefins in Diels-Alder reactions are rationalized on the basis of Sustmann's FMO model under consideration of Viehe's concept of captodative substitution of alkenes.
