The intamolecular Diels-Alder reactivity of a series of methyl 5-(spirohepta-4.6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoates is described.A sidechain oxygen substituent is essential for cyclization and the 1H nmr chemical shift of the β-dienophilic hydrogen provides a useful diagnostic guide to their cycloaddition potential.

Different routes to the spirohepta-4,6-dien-1-yl esters 5,6,7,26, and 28 are described and their intramolecular Diels-Alder reactivity examined.A sidechain oxygen substituent is essential for cyclization although its exact role in the cycloaddition remains obscure.The trienes 5,6, and 28 cyclize to the tetracyclo1.7.04.6.06.10>undecenes 9, 10, and 30 which are useful synthetic intermediates for the preparation of sesquiterpenes.
