The reactivity and mechanistic intricacies of azatrienes in Diels-Alder reactions have been relatively unexplored despite their intriguing potential applications. In this study, we employ Molecular Electron Density Theory to theoretically investigate the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction involving azatrienes with ethyl vinyl ether and allenyl methyl ether. Analysis of Conceptual Density Functional Theory, energetic profiles, and the topological characteristics is conducted to elucidate the reactions. The revealed mechanism manifests as a polar one-step two-stages process under kinetic control. We establish a clear relationship of between the periselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity on one hand and the characteristics of the reactions mechanism on the other hand. The influence of weak interactions on reaction activation barriers and bonding evolution are discussed in detail. We demonstrate that substituents enhancing the reverse electron density flux facilitate the feasibility of the reactions. The results lay ground for a meticulous control of the reaction of azatriene in similar synthetic scenarios.
