Pyrolysis of a mixture of dimedone (1) and 1-methoxycyclohexene (2) led to formation of the enedione (3), which underwent both a Diels-Alder reaction with (2) to form the spiro compound (4), and reaction with oxygen to give the cyclic peroxide (5). The possibility of extending the initial reaction, which is thought to proceed by an ene mechanism, to some cyclic vinyl ethers has been examined.

Herein we disclose the radical cation Diels–Alder reaction of aryl vinyl ethers by electrocatalysis, which is triggered by an oxidative SET process. The reaction clearly proceeds in a stepwise fashion, which is a rare mechanism in this class. We also found that two distinctive pathways, including “direct” and “indirect”, are possible to construct the Diels–Alder adduct.
