For the first time Lewis acid catalysis is described for the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of a conformationally fixed 2-azadiene system in a 2H-1,4-oxazin-2-one with a variety of alkenes and alkynes. The reaction is shown to occur under much milder conditions as hitherto reported. With dienophiles containing no heteroatoms an important increase in regio- and/or stereoselectivity is observed.
