Sumario:A new series de captodative olefins 3-(2-furoyloxy)-3-buten-2-one and alkyl 2-(2-furoyloxy)-2-propenoates, 3a-3c, hasbeen prepared with the aim of evaluating the effect of a heterocyclein the electron-donating moiety on the reactivity of these compoundsin Diels-Alder and conjugate additions. In the former reactions, theirbehavior has been evaluated by reacting under thermal and catalyzedconditions with cyclopentadiene (9) and cyclohexadiene (12) as thedienes, showing a comparable reactivity, but a lower stereoselectivity,with respect to the reference captodative olefins 1a and 2a. Inthe case of conjugate additions, the Friedel-Crafts reaction of thehighly activated benzene ring of 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene (7) led tothe corresponding adduct 8 only for olefin 3a. Ab initio calculations(HF/6-31G*) of the energies and coefficients of the FMOs were carriedout to explain the experimental reactivity in both processes. Theresults suggest that both the electron-withdrawing and the 2-furoyloxygroups are involved in controlling the reactivity and selectivityof olefins 3.
