(Chemical Equation Presented) Overcoming the ortho/para rule? The regioselectivity of Diels-Alder reactions with neutral electron demand between 1,3-dienes with alkynes can be controlled by simple cobalt diimine complexes so that the meta-substituted cycloadducts are generated in good yields and excellent regioselectivity (see scheme; DDQ=2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4- benzoquinone).
