Use of bulky protecting groups, such as the trityl group, can be utilised to encourage cycloaddition reactions that otherwise do not proceed. Thus N-allylfurfurylamines, bearing the appropriate N-protecting group, can thermally cyclise; subsequent removal of the protecting group produces the thermodynamically unstable, free amine.
