Hetero Diels-Alder reactions of nitrosoamidines: an efficient method for the synthesis of functionalized guanidines.
Hetero Diels-Alder reactions of transient nitrosoamidines are reported. Transient nitrosoamidines are formed by oxidation of protected N-hydroxylguanidines and are trapped in situ by 1,3-dienes to give [4 + 2] cycloadducts in good yields and regioselectivity. The resultant cycloadducts are versatile intermediates for the formation of functionalized guanidines. [reaction: see text]
