Org Lett. 2003 Jun 12;5(12):2135-6. doi: 10.1021/ol0300524.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] The title perfluoroalkene cycloadds to a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzene. It is the first alkene to yield a Diels-Alder adduct with benzene and is thus among the most potent dienophiles known.
