Pericyclic reactions of 2,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienone (1a) and 2,5-diphenyl-3,4-diazacyclopentadienone (1d) with N-(ethoxycarbonyl)azepine (2a) were investigated. For 1a, novel exo? and anti endo ? cycloadducts were obtained, whereas for 1d, only the anti endo ? cycloadduct was obtained. These structures were verified by X-ray crystallography. The anti endo ? cycloadduct was found to be formed via Cope rearrangement of the endo ? cycloadduct by UV spectrometry. Compounds 1 are found to have high reactivities toward 2a, and the selectivities were discussed in terms of frontier molecular orbital theory, indicating that 1 is a useful 4? component with inverse electron demand.
