2‐Chloro‐1,4‐benzodithiin 1,1,4,4‐tetraoxide 11 is a reactive dienophile that forms Diels‐Alder adducts with a number of dienes. Adducts 17a–j undergo facile dehydrochlorination to give 2,3‐substituted 1,4‐benzodithiin tetraoxides 18a–j , which react further with another molecule of diene (the same or a different one) affording the “double” adducts 19‐23 . Upon reductive desulfonylation with sodium amalgam, the latter are transformed to tetrasubstituted polycyclic olefins 24‐27 . These olefins correspond to the cycloadducts that would theoretically have been formed by the cycloaddition of diatomic carbon with two molecules of diene, reacting in a Diels‐Alder fashion.
