(E)-3-Phenylsulfonylprop-2-enenitrile undergoes facile Diels-Alder reactions, moderate regioselectivity being observed with several unsymmetrical dienes. Danishefsky's diene and furfuryl alcohol react regioselectively. The cycloadducts formed with cyclopentadiene and with anthracene undergo base-catalysed elimination of benzenesulfinic acid to yield α,β-unsaturated nitriles.
