Four fluorinated p-benzoquinones (2) have been reacted with Dane's diene (1) in Diels-Alder reactions and the formed fluorinated D-homosteroids were characterized. The number of products, their stereochemistry and stability depends on the fluorine substitution pattern of the corresponding fluorinated p-benzoquinones. If the p-benzoquinone (2) contains an unfluorinated double bond, this bond reacts faster with diene 1 yielding endo-products selectively. In contrast, [4+2]cycloadditions with 2,6-difluoro (2c) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoquinone (2d) gave the products with exo-orientation of the carbonyl part preferably.
