Abstract
A highly efficient formal inverse electron demand aza Diels–Alder reaction of 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes (DDs) is accomplished using dehydroalanine esters (DhAs) as electron-rich dienophiles. Both diastereoisomers of unprecedented ,-disubstituted cyclic tetrahydropyridazine amino acids were obtained in excellent yields, in refluxing acetonitrile without activation.
Keywords: Cycloaddition reaction, dehydroalanine esters, 1, 2-Diaza-1, 3-dienes, N, N-disubstituted quaternary center, nitrogen heterocycles, tetrahydropyridazine amino acids.
