A few examples of cycloadditions between nitroalkenes and vinyl ethers without the use of Lewis acids have been reported (Eq. 8.105), in which additional activating electron-withdrawing groups are generally required.161

High-pressure promoted cycloadditions of nitroalkenes and enol ethers eliminate the use of Lewis acids (Eq. 8.106).162 Thus, even sterically hindered nitroalkenes react with 2,3-dihydro- furan to give the exo cyclic nitronates stereoselectively without using Lewis acids.

8.3.2 Tandem [4+2]/[3+2] Cycloaddition of Nitroalkenes
Hetero Diels-Alder reactions using nitroalkenes followed by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions provide a useful strategy for the construction of polycyclic heterocycles, which are found in natural products. Denmark has coined the term tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition of nitroalkenes for this type of reaction. The tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition can be classified into four families as shown in Scheme 8.31, where A and D mean an electron acceptor and electron donor, respectively.149 In general, electron-rich alkenes are favored as dienophiles in [4+2] cycloadditions, whereas electron-deficient alkenes are preferred as dipolarophiles in [3+2] cycloadditions.
8.3.2.1 Inter [4+2]/inter [3+2] The tandem intermolecular [4+2]/intermolecular [3+2] cycloadditions create bicyclic nitroso acetals with up to six stereogenic centers, which can be controlled by the choice of the stereochemistry of each component and the Lewis acids. The nitronate derived from 2-nitrostyrene and 1-trimethylsilyloxycyclohexene reacts with methyl acrylate to give the nitroso acetal in good yield and high diastereoselectivity (Eq. 8.107).154

Asymmetric tandem cycloaddition of a chiral carbohydrate nitroalkene with ethyl vinyl ether in the presence of electron-withdrawing alkenes produces a facile assembly of bicyclic systems, which can further be selectively cleaved to give homologated carbohydrates (Eq. 8.110).176

8.3.2.3 Inter [4 +2]/intra [3+2] |
This type of tandem reaction using nitroalkenes has been |
explored most extensively. Four subfamilies of tandem cycloaddition exist, which arise from the four different points of attachment of the dipolarophilic tether. They are defined as fused, spiro, and bridged modes, as depicted in Scheme 8.37.149
Diand trisubstituted nitroalkenes tethered to dipolarophiles (unsaturated esters, nitriles) undergo tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloadditions with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene or butyl vinyl ether in the presence of Lewis acids (Eq. 8.112). For the dimethylene tether, the E-configuration of the dipolarophile is preferred, and the products arise selectively from a syn-endo pathway.177
