In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in dehydro or dehydrogenative Diels–
Alder (D–A) reactions. This Minireview gives an overview of the major two strategies for …

We describe diverse approaches to various dienes and their utilization in the Diels–Alder
reaction to produce a variety of polycycles. The dienes covered here are prepared by simple …

Abstract The dehydro‐Diels–Alder (DDA) reaction is a powerful method for the construction
of aromatic compounds. However, the enantioselective DDA reaction has been rarely …

A radical/polar crossover annulation between allyl‐substituted arenes and electron‐deficient
alkenes is described. Cobalt‐catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) facilitates tandem …

A mild, general, and transition-metal-free protocol for the synthesis of 9, 10-
dihydrophenanthrenes is reported. The aryne generated by the fluoride-induced 1, 2 …

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

Intramolecular dehydro-Diels–Alder (DDA) reactions are performed affording
arylnaphthalene or aryldihydronaphthalene lactones selectively as determined by choice of …

Conspectus Reaction discovery plays a vital role in accessing new chemical entities and
materials possessing important function. 1 In this Account, we delineate our reaction …

The Diels–Alder reaction represents one of the most thoroughly studied and well-
understood synthetic transformations for the assembly of six-membered rings. Although …

The fungal metabolite illudinine is prepared in seven steps and ca. 55% overall yield from
dimedone using an “open and shut”(ring-opening and ring-closing) strategy. Tandem ring …
