2-Trimethylsilylmethyl-1,3-butadiene undergoes highly regioselective Diels-Alder reactions with dienophiles such as acrolein and methyl vinyl ketone catalyzed by aluminium chloride in which the "para" isomers are obtained almost exclusively.The adducts are converted readily to a variety of naturally occurring mono and sesquiterpenes.

Compounds of formula (II), (IIIa) or (IIIb) (variables are described in the specification) are prepared by fluorination of β,γ-unsaturated alkyl silanes. These compounds are useful as building blocks in the pharmaceutical industry.

Two types of synthetically useful reactions of 2-trimethylsilylmethyl-1,3-butadiene (7) are discussed.Reactions of 7 with acid chlorides, aldehydes, ketones and acetals activated by a Lewis acid give isoprenylated compounds, while 7 undergoes the Diels-Alder reaction whit dienophiles.High regiospecificity of the reaction qualifies 7 for a versatile building block of terpene synthesis.
