The intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction of heterodienes 13 is described.The heterodienes, which are obtained in situ by Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes 12a-e with dimethylbarbituric acid (2), yield the cycloadducts 14a-e/15a-e and the ene adducts 16a, c-e/17a, c-e.The ratio of 14/15 was determined by HPLC.The resulting data are interpreted as experimental evidence of an asymmetrical transition state of the Diels-Alder reaction.
