The first intramolecular benzyne Diels-Alder reaction with an acyclic diene is reported. The course of the reaction is dependent on the diene geometry. Trans dienes afforded [4+2] cycloadducts; cis dienes apparently give [2+2] cycloadducts followed by further rearrangement, a mechanistic course which is supported by deuterium labeling experiments.
