Abstract
A scheme for the classification of the intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction of vinylallenes utilized as the diene component in the process is suggested. One variant of this process, wherein the dienophile is tethered to the allenic terminus of a cycloalkenylallene, has been explored in terms of its scope and reactivity as well as exemplified by its application in the highly stereoselective syntheses of a variety of linearly fused polycycles and the natural product (+)-sterpurene. 1.
