title: Dioxanone-fused dienes enable highly endo-selective intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions.
abstract: Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of dioxanone-fused (Z,Z)-dienes, available in a stereoselective manner from the corresponding alcohols are described. These dienes exhibited high reactivity and high levels of endo selectivity, giving functionalized trans-fused bicyclic compounds.
