Pd-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes with 1-azadienes: synthesis of 4-cyclopentylbenzo[e][1,2,3]oxathiazine 2,2-dioxides

The palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes and 1-azadienes has been developed under mild reaction conditions, giving the multisubstituted cyclopentane derivatives in good to excellent yields with moderate to good diastereoselectivities. The relative configuration of both diastereomers of the products have been determined through X-ray crystallographic diffraction.
