6-Iodo-5-methoxy-8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-ethanonaphthalene was prepared from the Diels-Alder adduct of benzoquinone and cyclohexadiene.Diels-Alder condensation of 2-acetamimido-benzoquinone and 2-iodobenzoquinone (convenient, new syntheses of both quinones are described) with 2-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene led to mixtures of adducts; the major adduct from the iodoquinone was isolated and found by X-ray analysis to have the methyl and iodo substituents at the 2- and 7-positions, respectively, of the 1,4-ethanonaphthalene skeleton.Addition of 2-acetamidobenzoquinone to mentha-2,6,8(9)-triene derived from (-)-carvone gave two regioisomers (structures determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy).In a smooth 4-step synthesis from 6,6-dimethylfulvene and benzoquinone, 6-iodo-9-syn-isopropyl-5,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalene was prepared and its stucture confirmed by X-ray analysis.
