The cobalt-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of alkynyl pinacol boronic esters
with various dienes generates cycloadducts in very good regioselectivity. A reaction sequence (Diels-Alder reaction, Suzuki coupling, DDQ oxidation)
was successfully performed as a one pot operation without isolation of the
intermediates.
