The behavior of 2-ethynyl-1,3-butadiene (1) as the diene component in Diels-Alder additions has been studied using a selection of representative double and triple bond dienophiles. The latter include maleic anhydride (5a), diethyl fumarate (6), benzoquinone (7), methyl acrylate (11), juglone (20), 1-methylcyclopropene (23), dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (26), propiolic aldehyde (32), 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione (35) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (37). [2 + 4] Cycloadducts were formed in all cases in varying yields. The addition is accompanied by thermal dimerization of 1 which leads to 1,4-diethynyl-4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene (43) and 1,6-diethynyl-1,5-cyclooctadiene (39). The mechanism of this dimerization is discussed. In a competition experiment towards maleic anhydride (5a), diene 1 was shown to be ca. five times less reactive than isoprene.
