Abstract
A study of the cycloaddition behavior of a series of unsymmetric pyridinium dicyanomethylides with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and methyl propiolate has been carried out. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition proceeds in good yield with high regioselectivity to produce the corresponding indolizines and 1:1 adducts. The reactions of isoquinolinium dicyanomethylide follow frontier orbital predictions. In contrast, polar 3-substituted pyridinium dicyanomethylides gave predominantly the corresponding 8-isomers regardless of the substituents. The results can be explained by dipole-dipole interactions.
