Cycloadditions of 3-aryl-2-benzoyl-2-propenenitriles 1a,bto styrene (2a) and its methyl- or methoxy-substituted derivatives2b-dproceed regio- and diastereoselectively yieldingcis and trans diastereoisomers of 2,4,6-triaryl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-5-carbonitriles 3 and 4 in 59Ð72% yield. Cycloadducts cis-3were the major products. Reaction of 5-(4-nitrobenzyli- dene)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (5) with styrenes2a-dafforded diastereoisomeric mixtures of 2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dionescis-6andtrans-7in 71Ð78% yield.
