Abstract

Intramolecular 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkoxycarbonyl-substituted azomethine ylides to ester carbonyl was realized for the first time in the reaction of imines of O-acylsalicylic aldehyde with ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of Cu (tfacac) 2. The stereoselectivity of the cycloaddition is explained using DFT calculations.
