Diels-Alder cycloaddition of methylcyclopentadienes to 2,5-dibromo-p-benzoquinone was performed. A single, isomerically pure cycloadduct was isolated, whose structure was assigned via analysis of its 1-D and 2-D NMR spectra. Diels-Alder cycloaddition of methylcyclopentadienes to 2 -methoxy-p-benzoquinone was performed. A single, isomerically pure cycloadduct was isolated, whose structure was assigned via analysis of the 1-D and 2-D NMR spectra of this cycloadduct and its reduction product obtained via stereo-specific reduction with sodium borohydride in the presence of cerous chloride. The structure of Thiele's ester was assigned via analysis of its 1-D and 2-D NMR spectra.
