| Abstract: | A thermally-induced intramolecular 4+2] cycloaddition reaction of allylamino- or allyloxy-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes has been reported in this paper, giving a new protocol for the rapid construction of polycyclic skeleton molecules in moderate to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope. On the basis of control experiments and DFT calculations, we disclosed that the reaction proceeded through a 4+2] cycloaddition and trace of water assisted 1,3-H shift process to give the target product. |
