✦ Synopsis
Nitroethylenes bearing either a phenylthio or a phenylselenoether group in b-position are efficient synthetic equivalents of nitroacetylene. A [4+2] cycloaddition/carbenoid-mediated elimination of PhS(e)CH 3 /[4+2] cycloaddition sequence of reactions is shown to produce formal biscycloadducts of nitroacetylene in high yields. The cycloaddition reactions are activated by high-pressure and proceed with high regioselectivities and stereoselectivities.

The substituted dioxacyclic compounds (III) and (XI) are synthesized via the inter-and intramolecular "pincer" Diels-Alder reaction. The first ring-opening reaction of these compounds is significantly faster than the second. Treatment of tetracycle (IV) with BuLi at higher temperatures provides the
