Abstract:The reaction of allylic cations with 1,3‐dienes is formally equivalent to the Diels–Alder reaction but leads to seven‐membered rings. An allylic cation contains 2 pi electrons, and is thus precisely analogous to an alkene and, like the latter, can function as a dienophile. The substituent at the central carbon of the allylic cation serves to terminate the reaction. Most often, this substituent is an oxyanion or a silyl ether, but other groups have been used. These (4+3) cycloadditions can proceed via mechanism… Show more
