Diels-Alder reactions of perfluorobicyclo[2.2.0]hex-1(4)-ene with aromatics.
[reaction: see text] The title perfluoroalkene cycloadds to a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzene. It is the first alkene to yield a Diels-Alder adduct with benzene and is thus among the most potent dienophiles known.
