A bifunctional silyl reagent Me<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>[double bond, length as m-dash]CH)SiCN has been developed as a novel ethylene equivalent for the Diels-Alder (DA) reaction. The use of this reagent enables the controllable synthesis of value-added cyclohexenyl ketones or 2-acyl cyclohexancarbonitrile derivatives through a five- or six-step tandem sequence based on a Wittig/cyanosilylation/DA reaction/<i>retro</i>-cyanosilylation/isomerization sequence that involves a temporary silicon-te ...[more]
