In contrast to the low dienophilicity generally observed for α,β-unsaturated lactones, the title compound 2 is shown to be a reactive dienophile. Under stannic chloride catalysis, it undergoes Diels–Alder reaction region- and stereoselectively with a variety of dienes at room temperature. The synthesis of (±)-o-mentha-1,3-dien-1→8-olide (20) has been achieved by a two-step sequence using lactone ester 2. Addition of 2 to 1-acetoxy-1,3-butadiene afforded epimeric acetoxy lactones 12 and 13 which were converted to the monoterpenoid lactone 20 by treatment with lithium iodide dihydrate in collidine.

Selected hetaryl and aryl thioketones react with acetylenecarboxylates under thermal conditions in the presence of LiClO4 or, alternatively, under high-pressure conditions (5 kbar) at room temperature yielding thiopyran derivatives. The hetero-Diels–Alder reaction occurs in a chemo- and regioselective manner. The initially formed [4 + 2] cycloadducts rearrange via a 1,3-hydrogen shift sequence to give the final products. The latter were smoothly oxidized by treatment with mCPBA to the corresponding sulfones.

Two different approaches have been employed to enhance the reactivity of 1-alkyl-1,2-diphospholes – the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups either at the phosphorus atoms or in the para-position of the arene ring. The alkylation of sodium 1,2-diphospha-3,4,5-triphenylcyclopentadienide with alkyl halides Hal-CH2-R (R = CN, COOEt, OMe, CH2OEt) results in corresponding 1-alkyl-3,4,5-triphenyl-1,2-diphospholes (alkyl = CH2CN (1a), CH2COOEt (1b), CH2OMe (1c), and (CH2)2OEt (1d)), which spontaneously undergo the intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions at room temperature to form the mixture of the cycloadducts, 2a–c, respectively. However the alkylation of sodium 1,2-diphospha-3,4,5-tri(p-fluorophenyl)cyclopentadienide with ethyl iodide leads to stable 1-ethyl-3,4,5-tris(p-fluorophenyl)-1,2-diphosphole (1e), which forms the [4 + 2] cycloadduct 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexa(p-fluorophenyl)-1-ethyl-1,7,7a-triphospha-4,7-(ethylphosphinidene)indene (2e) only upon heating up to 60 °C. With further heating to 120 °C with N-phenylmaleimide, the cycloadducts 2a–c and 2e undergo the retro-Diels–Alder reaction and form only one product of the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction 3a–с, 3e with good yields up to 65%.

The synthesis of (±)-epiisopodophyllotoxin commencing with 6-bromopiperonal dimethyl acetal is described. The carbon skeleton of isoepipodophyllotoxin was assembled via a Diels–Alder reaction between the hydroxyquinodimethane generated photochemically from 6-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl)-piperonal, obtained from the bromoacetal above, and dimethyl fumarate. This Diels–Alder adduct was converted in five steps into the title compound. The overall yield for the seven steps was 15%.

AbstractIonic liquids (IL) are gaining importance as green solvents. Imidazolium ionic liquid [bmim]+[Cl]−, an environmentally benign solvent, was found to promote the Diels-Alder reaction between anthrone and maleimides at room temperature with excellent yields. The ionic liquid played a dual role as solvent and catalyst.
