TLDR
In this article, cross-diels-alder reactions between 2-carbomethoxy-1,3-butadiene and electron-rich dienes were carried out.
Abstract
Cross Diels–Alder reactions between 2-carbomethoxy-1,3-butadiene 1 and electron-rich dienes were carried out. It was found that diene 1 had a higher reactivity than even the well-known Danishefsky diene in its Diels–Alder cycloaddition with electron-deficient dienophiles. In addition, (Z)-1-methylthio-3-carbomethoxy-1,3-butadiene 11 was found to have a higher reactivity than (Z)-1-methylthio-1,3-butadiene and (Z)-2-carbomethoxy-1,3-hexadiene, while both (E)- and (Z)-1,2-(bis)-carbomethoxy-1,3-butadiene 14 reacted efficiently with maleic anhydride to give the corresponding cy-cloadduct 15.

An understanding of the electrophilic/nucleophilic behavior of electro-deficient 2,3-disubstituted 1,3-butadienes in polar diels-alder reactions. A density functional theory study.

TL;DR: A study of the global electrophilicity pattern of the reagents at the ground state allows us to rationalize the participation of electron-deficient 2-susbtituted and 2,3-disubstituted 1-3-butadienes as nucleophiles in polar Diels-Alder reactions.

An enyne metathesis/(4 + 2)-dimerization route to (+/-)-differolide.

TL;DR: A concise total synthesis of (+/-)-differolide has been achieved by enyne metathesis of allyl propynoate using the Grubbs initiator 4 and the hypothesis that low concentration of ruthenium species and high concentration of enyne substrate would be advantageous was found.

Characteristics of the Two Frontier Orbital Interactions in the Diels−Alder Cycloaddition

TL;DR: It was shown that the dissymmetry in electron-rich dienophiles increases their reactivities, and it was demonstrated that in the case of normal Diels-Alder cycloadditions, the FMO theory could predict the relative reactivities between diensophiles, while in the cases of inverse-electron demand Diels -Alder reactions, it could not.

The Retro–Diels–Alder Reaction Part I. C ? C Dienophiles

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the literature on retro Diels-Alder reactions can be found in this article, with a focus on expelling C-C dienophiles, i.e. those reactions that generate a new carbon-carbon double or triple bond in the dienophile.
