Treatment of 2,5‐bis(methoxycarbonyl)‐3,4‐diphenylcyclopentadienone ( 1 ) with aniline ( 2a ) gave the stereoisomeric 2‐anilino‐2,5‐bis(methoxycarbonyl)‐3,4‐diphenylcyclopentenones ( cis ‐ and trans ‐4a ). 1 H NMR spectroscopic monitoring of the reaction indicates that both compounds are derived from the 1,5‐sigmatropic rearrangement of the 1,4‐addition products cis ‐ and trans ‐3a . The structure of 3a was established by the X‐ray analysis of the product after methylation ( 3a ‐ Enol‐Me ) with diazomethane. The sequential pericyclic reaction behavior of 1 with amines is discussed on the basis of X‐ray crystal structures and the optimized structure of the transition state at the B3LYP/6−31G(d) level of theory.
