Abstract
Tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone reacts with tetracyclone to yield a cyclopenta[b][1,4]benzodioxinone. A similar product was obtained in low yield from the reaction of 1,2-benzoquinone and tetracyclone, along with an ethenoindanetrione. In these reactions tetracyclone behaves, unexpectedly, as a dienophile.Keywords
