文摘in this work, the phosphine-catalyzed annulation reactions between modified allylic derivatives and polar 1,1-dicyano-1,3-dienes have been studied. In the catalysis of PPh3 （20 mol%）, a [4 ＋ 1 ] annulation reaction is realized between a series of l,l-dicyano-2,4-diaryl-1,3-dienes and ethoxycarbonyl-activated allylic acetate, producing polysubstituted cyclopentenes in modest to excellent yields. It is also observed that the substituents of both 1,3-dienes and allylic derivatives have a significant influence on the annulation mode： under the catalysis of PPh3 or PBu3 （20 mol%）, regioselective [3 ＋ 2] annulation products are formed from differently substituted substratcs.
