Abstract
Diene-transmissive Diels-Alder (DTDA) sequences are extraordinarily powerful processes for the generation of fused bicyclic systems. Nonetheless, only stable dienophiles have previously been deployed. Herein we report DTDA sequences with a variety of substituted [3]dendralenes in the first study to deploy arynes as dienophiles. We demonstrate the one-flask generation of complex, aromatic-ring-containing, multicyclic systems of relevance to medicinal chemistry. These synthetic operations provide numerous successful examples of the otherwise challenging and rarely reported intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of acyclic 1,3-butadienes with arynes, which is made possible due to the exalted reactivity of dendralenic dienes.
