Abstract

The cycloaddition reactions of 'all-carbon'1, 3-diazabuta-1, 3-dienes with a few conjugated and unconjugated alkynyl ketenes are described. The reactions provide some interesting azetidinones and dihydropyrimidinones bearing an alkynyl moiety. The regiochemistry of cycloadduct is related with the degree of conjugation of the alkynyl ketene. Moreover, two alternative approaches to 'all-carbon'1, 3-diazabuta-1, 3-dienes are reported.
