HIGHLY SELECTIVE INTRODUCTION OF CONJUGATED DIENES TO GOOD DIENOPHILES, α,β-UNSATURATED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS AND p-QUINONES, WITHOUT FORMATION OF DIELS-ALDER ADDUCT

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.1683

The reaction of 2,4-pentadienyltrimethylstannane with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and p-quinones in the presence of Lewis acid affords the corresponding pentadienylated products in fair to good yield without formation of any Diels-Alder adduct.
