TLDR
This comprehensive study portrays that p-toluenesulfonic acid is a more efficient catalyst for the reaction between p-quinones and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, than the Lewis acids.
Abstract
This comprehensive study portrays that p-toluenesulfonic acid is a more efficient catalyst for the reaction between p-quinones and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, than the Lewis acids. The products were accomplished by the Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction and their mechanistic pathways have been formulated. The impact of C2 and C2,5 substituents of the p-quinones on the cycloaddition reaction has been explored. Remarkably, it is the first report to explore this kind of in situ generated diene for the Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction.
