✦ Synopsis
In 1959 Cava reported' that a,a'-dibromo-c-quinodimethane (z), generated by treatment of a,a,a',a'-tetrabromo-o-xylene (1) with NaI in warm DMF, --could be trapped by dienophiles to give 2,3-disubstituted naphthalenes. Cava's scheme is shown below with &phenylmaleimide as the trapping agent.
