The Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction of tetracyclone and functionalized, internal aryl acetylenes gave access to a number of bulky atropisomeric biaryls in good to excellent yield. The synthesis is convenient and yields the pure biaryls without tedious work-up and purification procedures. Exemplarily the atropisomers have been resolved via the diastereomers in an easy and efficient manner to yield
