| It is well known that 2,5-dicarboethoxy-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienone undergoes Diels-Alder reactions with a variety of alkynes to produce aromatic diesters. This reaction has been extended to include multivalent alkyne derivatives made available by “Click” chemistry. For example, 1,7-octadiyne provides an alkyl tethered bis-terephthalate, and tripropargylamine I provides the tris-terephthalate. Reaction of pentaerythritol tetra-propargyl ether II provides a mixture of products. These compounds were isolated and purified by recrystallization and structurally analyzed by proton and carbon NMR.
