Aromatic aldehydes as dienophiles

Abstract
The carbonyl group of aromatic aldehydes substituted in the benzene ring by electron-withdrawing groups may act as a dieneophile in a thermally induced cycloaddition reaction leading to dihydropyran derivatives; the same compounds and other dihydropyran derivatives; the same compounds and other dihydropyrans may also be obtained from dienes and these and other aromatic aldehydes by an alternative acid-catalysed reaction.
