The zwitterion formed by the reaction of dimethoxycarbene and DMAD adds efficiently to one of the carbonyl groups of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds and anhydrides to generate dihydrofurans and spirodihydrofurans in good yields. In many cases, the carbene inserts into the C-C

[reaction: see text] The pyridine-mediated reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and cyclobutene-1,2-diones affords selective access to either hexasubstituted benzene derivatives or cyclopentenedione derivatives depending on the concentration of pyridine.

The facile three-component reactions of N,N-substituted imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine carbenes, namely imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidenes, with aldehydes and DMAD or allenoates were disclosed. Both reactions proceeded via tandem nucleophilic addition, [3 + 2]-cycloaddition, and ring transformation to produce different 4-[(2-pyridyl)methyl]aminofuran derivatives generally in moderate yields.

A protocol has been developed for the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse 3,4-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans via four-component reactions of arylamines, acetylenedicarboxylate, aromatic aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-diketones. The selective formation of the very different pyridinone or pyran derivatives depends on the

Stereoselective Diels-Alder cycloadditions that probe substituent effects in aryl-aryl sandwich complexes were studied experimentally and theoretically. Computations on model systems demonstrate that the stereoselectivity in these reactions is mediated by differential pi-stacking interactions in competing transition states. This allows relative
