Soc. 2004, 126, 15770-15776; the reaction of MCP la with benzaldehyde 2a in anhydrous dichloromethane was also studied by bubbling boron trifluoride from a cylinder into the reaction solution by the means of a Schlenk tube, under an argon atmosphere. The reaction proceeded slowly under these reaction conditions; however, when the reaction solution was exposed to the ambient atmosphere the reaction proceeded smoothly to give the cycloaddition products in good yields.
