The reaction of benzylic cations with styrenes affords dihydro(1H)indenes in good yield via a formal atom cycloadditon.The cations were generated from quinone methides and benzylic alcohols. (E)-Styrenes participate in the reaction with remarkable stereoselectivity affording dihydro(1H)indenes with three stereogenic centers with >40:1 diastereoselectivity.A possible transition state for the reaction is discussed.Less activated alkenes such as dihydropyran and methylcyclohexane afforded cycloadducts in 66percent and 51percent yields, respectively.
