Synthesis Endgame

[edit]

Should compound 13 (in both representations) have the double-bond to nitrogen still present? My understanding is that the nucleophilic addition generates the amine at that point.

Cycloaddition vs Mannich-type reaction

[edit]

How is this reaction a cycloaddition? There is no concerted reaction and only one bond is formed in the first step. I think this is merely a normal Mannich-type reaction (with an imine instead of an iminium ion) followed by an acyl substitution. Maybe someone confused cycloaddition with ring-closure/ formation?80.145.241.182 (talk) 07:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
