Packaging 1, 5 g in glass bottle Application Common reagent used in a variety of cycloaddition reactions to form cyclopropanes,1 cyclohexenes,2,3 and cyclooctadienes.4
Other Notes Dienophile; adducts can conveniently be transformed into alkanes or ketones (equivalent of ethylene or ketene), review1

From Data Sources
• Undergoes the Baylis-Hillman reaction (addition to aldehydes in the presence of 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, A14003): Tetrahedron, 44, 6095 (1988).
• Reactive dienophile. Can function as an acetylene equivalent if benzenesulfinic acid is eliminated thermally from the Diels-Alder adduct to form an olefinic double bond: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 100, 1597 (1978).
• Can also behave as an activated form of ethylene if the sulfone group is cleaved from the adduct, e.g. with Na amalgam, with the possibility of prior alkylation of the adduct: J. Org. Chem., 48, 4976 (1983):
• For addition to 1-Methoxy-3-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene, L06100, see: J. Org. Chem., 48, 4986 (1983). Addition to steroids with a cyclopentadienoid D-ring, followed by cleavage of the resulting alkene, gives the diformyl derivatives, useful for further functionalization: J. Chem. Soc., Perkin 1, 241 (1990).
