Abstract

The thermal cycloaddition reaction between dimethylpentafulvene 1 and 1,4-benzoquinone 2 or maleic anhydride was investigated under several solvent and concentration conditions. In aqueous media the reaction rates were highly accelerated and the endo/exo - ratio for 3/5 could be controlled from 9:1 to 1:9 depending on the formal concentration in water.
