Abstract

Olefins substituted with either nitro or sulfur functions have been shown to behave as excellent dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions and as acceptors in Michael addition reactions.'Thus olefins substituted with both nitro and sulfur functions at each end of the double bond might be very useful synthons in organic synthesis. They should be reactive as Michael acceptors and/or dienophilesZa and the nitro and sulfur functions can be ...
