Abstract
The reaction 5-benzylidene-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine (1) with nucleophilic reagents, such as sodium tetrahydroborate, lithium tetrahydridoaluminate, organometallic reagents, pyrrole, or ethyl propiolate, has been studied. The reaction of 1 with sodium tetrahydroborate, lithium tetrahydridoaluminate, phenylmagnesium bromide, butyllithium gave exclusively respective 1,2-adducts. The reaction with pyrrole gave a tricyclic 1:1 adduct while 1 formed a 1:2 adduct with ethyl propiolate.
