Ethyl 3-(2-pyridyl)-2H-azirine-2-carboxylate, the first
example of an 3-heteroamatic 2H-azirine has been prepared. The reaction
of ethyl 3-(2-pyridyl)-2H-azirine-2-carboxylate with conjugated
1,3-dienes, under mild conditions and in the absence of Lewis
acid catalyst, afforded cycloadducts in good yield and high stereoselectivity.
