Abstract
The efficiently cobalt(I)-catalysed neutral Diels-Alder type reactions of i nternal alkynes with substituted 1,3-dienes is described. The regiochemistr y for the dihydroaromatic products of reactions of isoprene with unsymmetri cal reaction partners (2-alkynes and 1-trimethylsilyl-1-hexyne) is investig ated. The dihydroaromatic reaction products are easily oxidised electrochem ically to the corresponding functionalised durene and isodurene derivatives . (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
