Diels-Alder reactions of 6-(2-phenylethenyl)fulvene with electron deficient dienophiles and dienes are described. The participation of the fulvene both as 4π and 2π addend is rationalised using MNDO and AM1 calculations

[4π+2π] cycloaddition - 6-arenyl fulvene - tetracyclone - 4-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone
