Diels-Alder reactions performed with Danishefsky's diene (1-methoxy-3-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene) and α-trifluoromethylstyrene (1) or 1-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene (2) under high pressure provide tertiary trifluoromethylated alicyclic compounds. An angularly trifluoromethylated A/B cis-phenanthrone, (4aR,10aR)-4a-trifluoromethyl-4a,9, 10,10a-tetrahydrophenanthren-2(1H)-one (6), is obtained by a very short route from ethyl trifluoroacetate.
