Synthesis of some novel 4-aza-tricyclo[5.2.2.0 2,6 ]undecane-3,5,8-triones from 2-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene and 1-methoxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene

The synthesis and characterization of nine novel Diels-Alder cycloadducts: the 4-aza-tricyclo[5.2.2.0 2,6] undecane-3,5,8-triones using 2-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene and 1-methoxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene is reported. The isolated yields of the pure cycloadducts range between 75 to 95%.
