title: Cycloaddition reaction of zirconacyclopentadienes to quinones: synthesis of higher para-quinones.
abstract: Efficient synthetic approaches to higher para-dihydroquinones and -quinones have been developed through zirconium/CuCl-mediated cycloaddition reactions of two alkynes and quinone in a one-pot procedure.
