Olefins with captodative substitution are reactive dienophiles in Diels ‐ Alder reactions with normal and inverse electron demand. This is shown for reactions of 2‐( tert ‐butylthio)acrylonitrile ( 1 ) with various dienes and heterodienes, e.g. 1,3‐cyclohexadiene, hexachloro‐1, 3‐cyclopentadiene, acrolein, methacrolein, and methyl vinyl ketone ( Schemes 2 and 3 ). In case of the hetrodienes, 3,4‐dihydro‐ 2H ‐pyrans are formed beside small amounts of tetrahydrothiophenes; however, with methyl vinyl ketone, both reaction pathways are equally followed. The high reactivity of captodative olefins in Diels ‐ Alder reactions are rationalized on the basis of Sustmann 's FMO model under consideration of Viehe's concept of captodative substitution of alkenes.
