Abstract

The preparations of 1‐acetylvinyl arenecarboxylates H2C=C(COCH3)OCOR with R = phenyl, p‐nitrophenyl, 2,4‐dinitrophenyl, α‐ and β‐naphthyl are described 3. The Diels‐Alder reactivity of these dienophiles toward cyclopentadiene is evaluated and compared with that of methyl vinylketone, 3‐trimethylsilyloxy‐, 3‐ethoxy‐ and 3‐acetoxy‐3‐buten‐2‐ones. The stereoselectivity of the cycloadditions of these dienophiles with 2,3,5,6‐tetramethylidene‐7‐oxanorbornane 1 and 5,8‐dimethoxy‐1,4‐epoxy‐2,3‐dimethylidene‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroanthracene 2 is studied. In principle, the dienophiles 3 allow direct functionalization of the position C(9) of the A‐ring of daunomycinone analogs by Diels‐Alder additions to exocyclic dienes such as 1 and 2.
