“…Thus, isomerisation involving hydride transfer was shown to convert 1,2-dihydropyridines into their 1,4-isomers in the presence of the transition metal complex RhCl(PPh 3 ) 2 [ 33 ]. Polysubstituted 1,2-dihydropyridines have been found to undergo [4+2] cycloaddition as reactive dienes with maleic anhydride, dimethyl fumarate and methyl acrylate, leading to the formation of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-enes [ 34 ]. The regiospecific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1,2-dihydropyridines with cyanogen azide and per(poly)fluoroalkanesulfonyl azides has afforded corresponding 2,7-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-enes and N -(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridylidene)fluoroalkanesulfonylamides [ 35 , 36 ].…”
