The cycloaddition of a diazoacetamide with ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorocrotonate proceeds with <i>k</i> = 0.1 M<sup>-1</sup>s<sup>-1</sup>. This second-order rate constant rivals those of optimized strain-promoted azide- alkyne cycloadditions, even though the reaction does not release strain. The regioselectivity and a computational distortion/interaction analysis of the reaction energetics are consistent with the formation of an N-H…F-C hydrogen bond in the transition state and the electronic characte ...[more]
