27. In a competition experiment between compounds 4 and 14, 2-cyclohexen-1-one reacted preferentially with 14.
28. The Diels-Alder reaction of 14 with methyl vinyl ketone gave a 4:1 ratio of regioisomers 26:27, while that between 2-eyclohexen-1-one and 14 gave a 2:1 ratio of 28:29. Poor regioselectivity of 4-methoxy-substituted o-quinone dimethides in Diels - Alder cycloadditions is preeedented in reactions with methyl acrylate: Y. Ito, M. Nakatsuka, T. Saegusa, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1982, 104, 7609. For information regarding the regiochemistry of 13, see reference [3].
