Trapping of cyclopentadienone as a 4π component in Diels–Alder reactions with ethyl acrylate: a simple synthesis of (±)-sarkomycin

Abstract
The ability of cyclopentadienone to act as the diene counterpart in Diels–Alder reactions was demonstrated through the isolation of the cycloadduct with ethyl acrylate, which was utilized as the starting point for an expeditious synthesis of (±)-sarkomycin.
