✦ Synopsis
Diels-Alder reactions / 1,2-Dicyano-1,3-~yclobutadiene / Dewar benzenes / High-pressure reactions
The trimerization of cyanoacetylene (la) and the Diels-Alder reaction of l a with 1,3-cyclohexadiene (2) show a powerful pressure-induced acceleration which allows the reaction temperature to be reduced from 1 6 O O C at 1 bar to 40°C at 12 kbar or from 100°C at 1 bar to room temperature at 7 kbar.
At high pressure thermally unstable intermediates like the tricyano Dewar benzene 12 generated in the trimerization of l a or the primary adduct 3a formed in the Diels-Alder reaction of l a with 2 were isolated.
