Abstract:
The Diels-Alderreactionof C,
with a cmwn-ether substituted diene as
well as l-methoxy-3-(siloxyl)-13-butadiene
(the Danishefsky Diene) is
repomzd Cm shows dienophile reactivity comparable to N-phenylmaleimide. Electrospmy MS is an exciting new technique for the mass spectral analysis of ions in solution.1 We have recently been adaptiug electrospray MS methods to the study of organic xeaction~.~ We showed that crown ethers are ideal substrates for e&rospray MS detectio~~.~ Crown ethers may also be used4 to design derivatization reagents for?isualization” of neutral molecules in solution. Such tagged molecules give very strong [M+K]+ signals by electrospray MS. The scope of the chemical reactivity of Cm is a topic
ofcurrent interest
and has been reviewed.5 We also
have xeported6 several new aspects of Cm chemistry including the use of electrospray MS to study nucleophilic addition, 1.3 dipolar addition and 2+2-photocycloaddition reaction reactions. An early report on the Diels-Alder reaction of C, witb anthracene, furan and cyclopentadiene suggested that cyclomversion of the initially fcnmed Diels-Alder adduct occurred.7 Mm Iecently, Diels-Alder cycloaddition of C, strategies wem designed to give stable products after the extrusion of COJJ or by the use of quinodimethane-type dienes9 or isobenzofuran .t 0 All of these reports suggest that that C&Xels-Alder
adducts
are unstable. in contrast to our own experience. vida &fia. We have been investigating the reactivity of Cm in Diels-Alder reactions and report our nsults on C, Diels-Alder reaction with a nlatively umractive crown ether diene 1. We show that (1) the electrospray MS method is ideal for following Diels-Alder nactions, (2) the Diels-Alder reaction of G
does not appear to be reversible
and (3) C, reacts with the well known “Danishefsky Diene” to produce an annelated ketone producb 11 and 12 that may he quite useful for preparation of functional&d fullerenes. The “electrospray -active” crowu ether diene 1 was prepared by a modification of the method for the preparation of I-phenyl-1,3-butadiene.11
The crown ether group makes 1 and all of its derivatives visible as their
K+ complexes using the solution technique of electmspray MS. We can dhectly monitor the Diels-Alder reaction

mixture by dilution and injection of reaction aliquots (Figute 1.) Compound 1 reacts withC, (2)at mom tempemtum and a monoadduct 3 could be isolated in 34% yield.12 Reaction
ofcrownether diene 1 withother
common dienophiles, e.g. maleic anhydride 4 and N-phenyhualeimide 5 required tefhuting benzene to produce similaradducts6

While the Diels-Alder reaction of 1 withCa gives onlymonoadduct at room temperature, at higher temperatute (80 OC, 29 hrs.) compound 1 and C, yields a 1: 1 mixture of mono- and bis-adduct. The half life of the reaction of 1 and related diene 8 with C, places the reactivity of Cm close to that of N-phenyhnaleimide 5. All C, Diels-Alder adducts are stable. Compound 3, for example, does not undergo cycloreversion during 3 hours at -8BC @fluxing benzene.) I1+ K+l+
