The tricarbonyl complex prepared from 1‐trifluoromethyldihydronaphthalene and Cr(CO) 3 (NH 3 ) 3 undergoes Diels–Alder cycloaddition under high‐pressure conditions (15 kbar) to give after decomplexation by natural light and deprotection, the tetrahydrophenanthrone product in 65% yield. This new methodology allows the activation of unreactive styrenes in Diels–Alder cycloaddition.
