Naphthalene annellation of norbornyl compounds can be readily achieved in good yields through in situ trapping of dibromonaphthoquinone (5), generated from 4 and sodium iodide, by the dienophilic norbornyl substrate. The dienophiles used include norbornadiene (which gave mono-adduct 8b or bis-adduct 3a depending on the conditions), norbornene, benzonorbornadiene (11), diene 9, and 13.
