Abstract

Anthracene adducts (4)–(6) are synthesized via a convenient general synthesis and subjected to a retro Diels-Alder reaction to furnish the corresponding 2-methylene-1, 3- dioxygenated cyclopentenes and cyclopentanes (1)–(3) via either flash vacuum pyrolysis or room temperature silica gel-catalysed decomposition.
