Cycloaddition reactions. Addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 1-dimethylaminoindene

Abstract: The cycloaddition of 1-dimethylaminoindene (2) to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to form a fused cyclobutene system 3 is discussed. Compound 3 underwent two modes of ring opening to yield either the indene–maleate system 4 or the benzocycloheptatriene system 5 depending on reaction conditions. The synthesis of a number of multifunctional benzotropones from 5 is discussed.

“…These results and the fact that the photochemical ring opening of cyclobutenes is well-precedented 12 prompted us to explore the photolysis of the cyclobutenes 3 , 4 , 6 , and 7 . To the best of our knowledge, the photolytic ring opening of cyclobutenes condensed to the diquinane moiety has seldom been used as a synthetic approach to hydroazulene skeletons . Our first experiments were performed in a Pyrex photoreactor with a medium-pressure Hg lamp (125 W).…”
