Abstract

The intramolecular cyclocondensation of 15 cyclic N-(acy1oxy) iminium cations containing tethered alkyne and alkene nucleophiles is reported (eqs 5 and 6). This route to heterotricyclic systems was specifically demonstrated with substrates in which the heterodiene moiety was contained in five-, six-, and seven-membered azacyclic rings. The stereochemistry of the cycloadducts (Table IV) was controlled primarily by the size and ...
