1-(Trimethylsiloxy)-1,3-butadiene is commonly employed as diene in the Diels-Alder reaction.
1-Trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene is an easily prepared reactive diene for Diels–Alder reactions and
other cycloadditions; reactive silyl enol ether for aldol and
Michael reactions, and electrophilic additions.
1-Trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene is a diene used in the Diels-Alder reaction.
Mechanism of Diels-Alder reaction between 1-(trimethylsiloxy)-1,3-butadiene and 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan has been studied using state-of-the-art computational methods.
Purify it by fractional distillation and collect the fractions with the required 1H NMR. Store it under N2 — it is a flammable and moisture-sensitive liquid. [Caseau et al. Bull Soc Chim Fr 16658 1972, Belge Patent 670,769, Chem Abstr 65 5487d 1966.]
