	abstract = {A silylated derivative of naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c]difuran, 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c]difuran, has been isolated and its X-ray crystal structure determined. Bond localization confirms the polyene character of this isobenzofuran ring system. This molecule undergoes two successive Diels-Alder reactions with second-order rate constants differing by over 2 orders of magnitude, consistent with predictions based on their structure-count ratios and with the reactivity of the novel 1,3-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)isobenzofuran. Crystal structures of two cyclophanes derived from the reaction of naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c]difuran and bis(imide) or bis(ester) dienophiles show marked differences in the conformation of the aliphatic chain found in the solid state.},
