This comprehensive review summarizes the published literature data concerning the
intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions of vinylarenes (the IMDAV reaction) and alkynyl arenes …

The present review highlights the most important recent contributions toward the synthesis of
functionalized fused heteroaromatic rings via intramolecular C–H activation mediated or …

The styryl dehydro-Diels–Alder reaction with a conjugated diyne is reported. While typical
alkyne–styrene condensation requires elevated temperatures (> 160° C), the application of …

Intramolecular cycloaddition reactions of α-bromostyrene-functionalized amides of
monomethyl fumarate were investigated. The reaction of the amides with Et3N in toluene at …

An efficient approach to naphthol and naphthalene scaffolds has been developed using a
sequence involving tandem Ti (Oi-Pr) 4-promoted photoenolization Diels–Alder (PEDA) and …

A practical and efficient approach for the synthesis of fluorescent 2, 3-naphthalimide
derivatives has been developed from readily available starting materials via an …

A removable acyl group promoted the intramolecular didehydro-Diels–Alder reaction of
styrene-ynes under mild reaction conditions is proposed. The reaction is free of metals and …

Dihydronaphthalenes are present in several functional molecules, but their assembly is
challenging. However, a sequential strategy can induce the key annullation of an alkyne …

A cascade of styrylynols promoted by MnO2 allows the synthesis of fused tricycles with a
naphthalene core. The reaction occurs under ambient conditions, offering a practical …

A nickel-catalyzed tetradehydro-Diels–Alder reaction of (E)-3-ene-1, 8-diynes for the
preparation of isoindolines, dihydroisobenzofurans, and tetrahydroisoquinolines has been …
