1-Acetoxy-1,3-butadiene was used as diene in the following reactions:Diels-Alder reaction withortho-carbazolequinones to yield benzocarbazolequinone.Diels-Alder reaction with diethyl ketovinylphosphonate, with and without Lewis acid assistance.Diels-Alder reaction with methyl acrylate to yield racemic forms of 2-hydroxy-3-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid.It was used for the reaction with dienophiles such as maleimides,a juglone,a butyne-1,4-dioneand methyl 2-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-azirine-3-carboxylate and during visible light photocatalysis.It was also used as reactant during intermolecular oxa-Pictet-Spengler cyclization.
