title: Synthesis of Delta(1)-1,2-diazetines via a Diels-Alder cycloaddition approach.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel method for the synthesis of Delta(1)-1,2-diazetines is presented. Diels-Alder cycloaddition of dienophile 4 with five dienes afforded cycloadducts in good to excellent yields. Four of the obtained cycloadducts were converted to the corresponding diazetines.
