N2  - bis-Crotonate and related &#945;,&#946;-unsaturated ester derivatives of readily available and enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechols engage, upon heating in refluxing toluene, in two competitive intramolecular Diels&#8211;Alder reactions to give varying mixtures of chromatographically separable and pseudo-enantiomeric bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-enes. Such adducts, many of which have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, are likely to serve as useful building blocks in natural products synthesis.
