Abstract

1,2-Diaza-1,3-dienes react with electron-poor alkenes to give the corresponding tetrahydropyridazines with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Both regio- and stereoselectivity can be explained considering the interaction between the LUMO of the 1,2-diaza-1,3-diene and HOMO-1 of the alkene.

Synthesis of Compound 3a
DD 1a (370 mg; 2 mmol) was added under vigorous stirring to a solution of methyl crotonate (2a, 2.0 g; 20 mmol) in MeCN (40 mL). The reaction was heated to reflux for 48 h, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the crude mixture, which was chromatographed on silica gel (EtOAc-PE, 1:1 to 7:3) to give pure THP 3a (370 mg, 65% yield).
