Me2C:C:N+Me2BF4- with RR1C:CHCH:CH2 (R = H, R1 = H, Me; R = Me, R1 = H) gave [2 + 2] cycloadducts, e.g. I, and with cyclopentadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene gave [2 + 4] cycloadducts, e.g. II. CH2:CMeCMe:CH2 reacted in both ways. The population of transoid and skew conformations in the dienes governed the mode of cycloaddn.
