“…In our earlier studies of the dipolar 1,3-cycloaddition reaction, we investigated the action of diarylnitrilimines on dihydroquinoleine derivatives, 7 indene, 8 and the 3-methoxycarbonyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, in which the dipolarophilic site is endocyclic. 9 We also studied the regionand the stereochemistry of the reaction of diarylnitrilimines with the 2-arylidene-indan-1-ones, 10 3-arylidene-tetraline-4-ones, [11][12] 3-arylidene-isothiochroman-4-ones, 13 and lately the 3-toluidene-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-isoquinolone, 14 where the dipolarophilic site is exocyclic.…”
