Unusual [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of Acrylic Acid Derivatives to 5,6,5,pyridine under Michael Reaction Conditions.-Reaction of 2formyltetrahydropyrrolopyridine (I) with acrylic acid derivatives (II) in the presence of Trilon B r does not afford the common Michael adducts but proceeds via [3 + 2] cycloaddition to furnish the pyridopyrrolizines (III) as mixture of diastereomers. Similar reaction of acrylonitrile (IV) does not stop at the formation of analogous 8-cyano-substituted adduct but affords isomeric 8-cyano-8-cyanoethyl derivatives (V) and (VI) resulting from a further cyanoethylation. -(VARLAMOV, A.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
