DIENE SYNTHESIS I 43<br />

tetrahydronaphthalene-l,2-dicarboxylic anhydride forms short, pale<br />

yellow prisms, m.p. 107°*<br />

Reaction of Maleic Anhydride with Furan. 121 When the calculated<br />

quantity of furan is added to 2 g. of maleic anhydride suspended in<br />

ether, a reaction accompanied by a mild evolution of heat gradually<br />

ensues, The reaction mixture is allowed to stand for several hours in<br />

the cold in order to complete the reaction, during which time the addition<br />

product separates for the most part in the form of hard, colorless<br />

crystals. By working up the mother liquor the 3,6-endoxo-l,2,3,6tetrahydrophthalic<br />

anhydride is obtained in quantitative yield; m.p.<br />

125° dec.<br />

SURVEY OfP THB DIELS-ALDER REACTIOH<br />

INVOLVING MALEIC ANHYDRIDE<br />

The following tables include most instances reported before January,<br />

1945, in which maleic anhydride and closely related dicarboxylic acid<br />

derivatives have been made to react with dienes of known structure.<br />

Unless otherwise indicated, the product isolated is assumed to be the<br />

normal hydroaromatic adduct of the type formulated in the introduction.
