Abstract

Tricyclic compounds were obtained as a single diastereomer via carbon-carbon double-bond isomerization-Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 5-methylene-4-isopropylidene-2-cycloheptene-1,1-dicarboxylate with dienophiles under the catalysis of [RhCl(cod)2]2/dppe/AgOTf. Further experiments provided the proof of isomerization of carbon-carbon double bond. Meanwhile a sequential double Diels-Alder reaction took place without carbon-carbon double-bond isomerization when 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione used as a dienophile.
