Spectroscopic analysis of the products of the cycloaddition reaction of 1-Aryl-2-chlorocyclopropenes and cyclopentadiene

The treatment of a series of 1-aryl-2,2-dihalocyclopropanes with t-BuOK at -10 °C produces the corresponding 1-aryl-2-halocyclopropenes, which react with cyclopentadiene to produce fairly good yield of [4+2]-cycloaddition products with more than 90% of the endo-isomer. The higher yield obtained from hexane medium then from methanol and ionic liquid demonstrates that the reaction is a nonpolar process.

Ionic liquids accelerating cycloaddition between 1-aryl-2-halocyclopropenes and furan

Treatment of a series of 1-aryl-2,2-dihalocyclopropanes with t-BuOK at-10 °C gave the corresponding 1-aryl-2-halocyclopropenes, which react with furan in a RTIL to give a fair good yield of the [4+2]-cycloadducts with more than 90% of the exo-isomer. The imidazolium type ionic liquids are able to accelerate this cycloaddition process with high steric selectivity. Neither pyrrole nor thiophene undergoes the cycloaddition with cyclopropene to form the [4+2]-cycloadduct. 1-Aryl-3,3-difluoro-2-halocyclopropenes are inert towards furan even at a temperature higher than 100 °C.
