title: Hetero Diels-Alder reactions of 1-amino-3-siloxy-1,3-butadienes under strictly thermal conditions.
abstract: The hetero Diels-Alder reaction of 1-amino-3-siloxy-1,3-butadiene (1a) with a range of unactivated aldehydes proceeds readily under remarkably mild conditions: at room temperature and in the absence of Lewis acid catalysts. The cycloadducts are formed in good yields and can be converted directly to the corresponding dihydro-4-pyrones using acetyl chloride. Ketones and imines are also reactive in hetero Diels-Alder reactions with this diene.
