## Abstract Tetrahydropyridines **4a, 4b, 4c** and pyridines **7a, 7b, 7c, 9a, 9b, 9c** were synthesized by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition between 1,4‐bis aryl‐2‐aza‐1,3‐butadienes and electron‐poor dienophiles. Dimeric cycloadducts **6a, 6b, 6c**, were also isolated indicating a competition between the e

✦ Synopsis
The titZe compound 1 undergoes thermal [n2s+a2s] cycZoaddition reactions with l,l-di-methoxyethylene or enamines to produce 1,2-bismethyZenecycZobutanes of type 3. Butatrienes display an interesting position-selectivebehaviortowards cycloaddition reactions. For example, recently it has been established that several substituted butatrienes react with 1,3 dipoles like diazomethane 1 or 1,3-dithiolylium-4-elates 2,3 at one of the terminal double bonds exclusively and not at the central one. In connection with this stud-y, we wish to report preliminary results on [2+2] cycloaddition reactions which position-specifically take place at the central double bond of the title butatriene. To our knowledge there is no report on thermal [2+2] cycloaddition reactions of butatrienes to CC double bonds except photochemical dimerization of tetraarylbutatrienes 4 .
