A practical and effective copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative Diels-Alder reaction of gem-diesters and ketone with dienes has been established. The active dienophiles were generated in situ via a radical-based dehydrogenation process, which reacted with a wide variety of dienes to afford various polysubstituted cyclohexene derivatives in good to excellent yields.
