Inter- and intramolecular carbonyl-ene reactions have been developed using 5 mol% Fe(BF4)2 as catalyst, affording homoallylic alcohols in 36–87% isolated yields. This catalyst, prepared from FeCl2 and AgBF4, is the first FeII Lewis acid reported for the carbonyl-ene reaction using ethyl trifluoropyruvate. The method was successfully applied to the reaction of various 1,1-disubstituted alkenes with ethyl trifluoropyruvate and to the cyclization of citronellal.

Cycloalkanones were utilized in the Lewis acid catalyzed peroxyacetalization of ß-hydroperoxy homoallylic alcohols (prepared by the ene reaction of the allylic alcohols mesitylol and methyl 4-hydroxytiglate, respectively, with singlet oxygen) to give spiroannulated 1,2,4-trioxanes 5a–5e and 9a–9e, respectively. A second series of 3-arylated trioxanes 10a–10h, that are available from the hydroperoxy alcohol 4 and benzaldehyde derivatives, was investigated by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract Diels-Alder and ene reactions of germaethene Me2Ge=C(SiMe3)2 (2) with butadienes respectively, take place regioselectively, as well as stereoselectively. They are accelerated by an increasing tendency of substituents in butadiene or propene to donate electrons (e.g. 2-methylbutadiene > butadiene; 2-methylpropene > propene), and retarded by an increasing bulkyness of substituents in 1,4- or 1,3-positions (e.g. 1-methylbutadiene > 2-methylbutadiene; 1-vinylpropene > propene). It is concluded from these studies that Diels-Alder and ene reactions of 2 occur - like those of Me2Si=C(SiMe3)2 (1) or of ethenes >C=C< - in a concerted way and are HOMOdiene-LUMOdienophile and HOMOene-LUMOenophile controlled. Thus 2 and 1 behave as carbon analogues. With regard to a specific diene or ene (e.g. anthracene; toluene), 2 is the better dienophile or enophile than 1 or ethenes. With a fixed diene/ene mixture (e.g. butadiene/propene), 2 acts as the better dienophile, while 1 is the better enophile. These results can be explained by the π/π*- energy difference and the double bond polarity decreasing in the direction 1 > 2. Only cis-piperylene gives a [2+2] cycloadduct with 2. besides two [4+2] cycloadducts, and an ene reaction product
