A Dehydrogenative Diels–Alder Reaction of Prenyl Derivatives with 2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐dicyanobenzoquinone

Abstract

Abstract An efficient dehydrogenative Diels–Alder (DHDA) reaction of prenyl derivatives with 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) has been developed under mild conditions, leading to a series of cyclohexene derivatives with good to excellent yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. magnified image
