Abstract

The trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ethers of hexa-3,5-dien-1-ol react with cyclohexenones and an acyclic enone, methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), in the presence of 5-10 mol% of Me3SiOSO 2CF3 (TMSOTf) in MeCN to provide trans-fused adducts arising via ionic (Gassman-type) Diels-Alder reactions; structural confirmation for adduct stereochemistry for this type of reaction is provided by an X-ray structural determination.
