The synthesis and Diels-Alder reactions of a polymer-supported o-quinodimethane are described. Reaction with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, benzoquinone and trichloroacetonitrile as dienophiles gives respectively substituted naphthalenes or an isoquinoline off-resin, whilst reaction with aldehydes and imines gives polymer-supported benzodihydropyrans and tetrahydroisoquinolines. The latter heterocyclic products undergo Lewis or Brønsted acid-mediated cleavage reactions which allow incorporation of further functionality at the point of cleavage whilst leaving no trace of attachment to the polymer support.
