39. Previous reports dealing with 3-phenylsydnone cycloaddition involving unsymmetrical alkynyl esters have essentially concerned the case of unsubstituted propiolates. It was established that regioisomeric mixtures where the cycloadduct having the ester group in the 3-position predominated were normally formed in these reactions. The observed selectivities have been explained in terms of HOMO-LUMO interactions, the dipole LUMO and dipolarophile HOMO interaction being suggested to be the controlling term

45. Quantum chemistry calculation using DFT suggested a favorable interaction between the dipole HOMO and the dipolarophile LUMO for the cycloaddition of 4-halosydnones (1) with ethyl halopropiolates (2). However, simple consideration of orbital lobe sizes did not allow a quantitative prediction of regioselectivity. See Supporting Information for details.
46. In accordance with literature precedents (ref 10a), bromosydnone 1b was found to be fairly unstable under the reaction conditions (elevated temperature and non-polar solvent), although some 3-aryl-4-bromosydnones have been previously successfully reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate under similar conditions (refs 10b, 10c).
