“…Cycloaddition of 7 with 1 at 160 and 180°C gave only a single cis-endo-adduct (9e, 30%; entry 11 and 9e, 30%; entry 12), whereas cycloaddition of 7 with 2 (entries 13,14) afforded several cis-endo-adduct (9f, 3%, 7%) and cis-exo-adduct (10f, 11%, 12%). Reaction of 8 with 1 (entries 15,16) proceeded to stereoselectively afford cisendo-adduct (9g, 38%, 10%, respectively). Cycloaddition of 1-methoxydiene 5 with quinolone 3 having a methoxycarbonyl group at the 3-position at 180 and 160°C for 6 d (entries 17,18) was then performed and gave cis-endo-adducts (11a, 14%, 3%) and (12a, 11%, 14%), respectively.…”
