The Reaction of 2‐butynedinitrile with 2,3,4,5‐tetramethylfuran

Abstract

2‐Butynedinitrile Reacts by (2 + 4)‐cycloaddition with One or Two Equivalents of 2,3,4,5‐tetramethylfuran to Give 1,4,5,6‐tetramethyl‐7‐oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta‐2,5‐diene‐2,3‐dicarbonitrile (1) and 1α,4α,4aα, 5β,8β,8aα‐hexahydro‐1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octamethyl‐1,4:5,8‐diepoxy‐naphthalene‐4a,8a‐dicarbonitrile (5), Respectively. the Presence of Aluminium(III) Chloride Has No Effect on the Reactions, Unlike the Corresponding Reaction with the Analogous Thiophene. on Irradiation, 1 is Converted into 2,4,6,7‐tetramethyl‐3‐oxatetracyclo[3.2.0.02,7.04,6]heptane‐1,5‐dicarbonitrile (2) in Good Yield. the Structure of 5 Has Been Determined by a Single‐crystal X‐ray Analysis.
