The title compounds exhibit commendable versatility in both Diels-Alder and dipolar cycloaddition reactions. They have also been employed as electrophilic reaction partners in nucleophile-triggered catalytic processes and related multicomponent reactions. These, along with other reactions described here, lead to the synthesis of densely functionalised carbocyclic and heterocyclic frameworks that are otherwise difficult to access.</p>1 aNair, Vijay1 aMenon, Rajeev, S.1 aBiju, Akkattu, T.1 aAbhilash, K., G.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/12-benzoquinones-diels-alder-reactions-dipolar-cycloadditions-nucleophilic-additions-0
