1. Experimental Section 1.1 General Methods Reactions were performed under a positive pressure of dry nitrogen in oven or flame dried glassware, unless otherwise specified. Anhydrous THF was dried over sodium wire and distilled from sodium benzophenone ketyl. Other anhydrous solvents were dried using a solvent purification system outlined in the procedure by Grubbs et al. 1 Commercially available chemicals were used as purchased or purified by standard procedures. 2 Grignard reagents were titrated against salicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone according to the procedure of Love and Jones. 3 Microwave reactions were performed using a CEM Discovery instrument. Chromatography Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed with silica gel plates, precoated with silica gel 60 F 254 (0.2 mm) on aluminium sheets and visualized using UV fluorescence (λ max = 254 nm) and flash column chromatography employed using 230 400 mesh silica gel. Analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed using on a 5µm, 4.6 150 mm, C18 column or a 5µm, 10 250 mm, C18 column. NMR Spectroscopy 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at 298 K using either 300, 400, or 800 MHz spectrometers. Residual chloroform (CHCl 3 in CDCl 3 ) ( = 7.26 ppm) was used for 1 H NMR spectra and the central line of the deuterochloroform (CDCl 3 ) triplet ( = 77.1 ppm) was used for 13 C NMR spectra as an internal reference. Assignment of proton and carbon signals were assisted by DEPT, COSY, HSQC or HMBC experiments where necessary. S2

Infrared Spectroscopy Infrared spectra were recorded on a FT-IR spectrometer as neat films on NaCl plates for oils or as KBr disks for solids. Mass Spectroscopy Low resolution mass spectra (LRMS) and high resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on a magnetic sector mass spectrometer using electron impact (EI + ) ionization mode at 70 ev. LRMS were reported with intensities quoted as percentages of the base peak. Melting Points Melting points were measured on a hot stage melting points apparatus and are uncorrected. S3

1.2 Diels Alder Reaction Between [4]Dendralene (1) and N-Methylmaleimide (NMM) in Various Solvents The solvent dependence of the Diels Alder reaction between parent [4]dendralene (1) and excess NMM (3 mol equiv) was examined. The product distribution obtained from reactions performed in THF, CH 2 Cl 2 and CDCl 3 were the same, demonstrating no significant solvent influence. Scheme S1: Diels Alder reaction between [4]dendralene (1) and excess NMM (3 mol equiv) in different solvents (THF, CH 2 Cl 2 and CDCl 3 ) at room temperature. Experimental procedure: A reaction vessel was charged with [4]dendralene (1) (15 mg, 0.14 mmol, 1.0 mol equiv), solvent (0.50 ml), and NMM (47 mg, 0.42 mmol, 3.0 mol equiv) and then capped. The reaction mixture was stirred for 21 hours at room temperature. The product composition was determined by analysis of the 1 H NMR spectra (800 MHz, at 25 C, in CDCl 3 ) (Table S1). In the case of the CDCl 3 reactions, direct analyses of the reaction mixtures by 1 H NMR spectroscopy was carried out. With runs in THF and CH 2 Cl 2, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure before CDCl 3 (0.5 ml) was added and the 1 H NMR spectrum was recorded. S4

(a) The crude product ratio was calculated based upon analysis of the crude 1 H NMR spectra (800 MHz, at 25 C, in CDCl 3 ), (b) Commercial CDCl 3 was used directly as received. (c) CDCl 3 was stored over K 2 CO 3 and 3Å molecular sieves before use. 1.3 Competition Experiment: Diels Alder Reaction Between a 2:1 (Isoprene (67) : 2,3-Dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (68)) Mixture and N-Methylmaleimide (NMM) The outcome of the reaction between the parent [4]dendralene (1) and excess NMM is shown in Scheme 2 of the main manuscript. Of the five products formed, four are the result of addition to the mono-substituted diene site and the remaining one product results from addition to the disubstituted diene site. The mono-substituted diene site of [4]dendralene (1) is preferred over the di-substituted diene site in a ratio of 78:22 (Scheme S2, top). To test if this outcome is simply the result of a preference for addition to a 2-substituted diene over a 2,3-disubstituted diene, a competition experiment was performed in which NMM was treated with a 2:1 mixture of isoprene (67) and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (68). This experiment gave a slight preference for S5

the more substituted diene (Scheme S2, bottom), demonstrating that [4]dendralene (1) does not behave as a simple mixtures of 1,3-butadienes. Scheme S2: A comparison of (top equation) the reactivity of [4]dendralene with NMM with (bottom equation) a 2:1 (isoprene (67) : 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (68)) mixture with NMM. Experimental procedure: An NMR tube was charged with a 2:1 mixture of isoprene (67) (38 mg, 0.56 mmol, 7.3 mol equiv) and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (68) (23 mg, 0.28 mmol, 3.6 mol equiv), anisole (internal standard, 19 mg) and d 6 -benzene. To this was added a solution of N- methylmaleimide (8.6 mg, 0.077 mmol, 1.0 mol equiv) in d 6 -benzene (0.30 ml). The resulting solution was allowed to stand for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction progression was monitored by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and the reaction was deemed complete when NMM could no longer be observed. The ratio of the corresponding products 69 4 and 70 5 (44:56) was obtained from integration of the 1 H NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture. S6

4. Stereochemical Assignments for 13, 14, 23, 24, 32, 37, 46, and 51. The stereochemistry of 23 was secured through 2D NMR experiments. The 1 H 1 H NOESY spectrum is shown in Figure S13. Figure S13: 1 H 1 H NOESY NMR (400 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) spectrum of 23. S85

The stereochemistry of 13 was secured through 2D NMR experiments. The 1 H 1 H NOESY spectrum is shown in Figure S14. Figure S14: 1 H 1 H NOESY NMR (500 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) spectrum of 13. S86

The stereochemistries of 25 and 27 were assigned by comparison of 1 H NMR spectra with 23 and 13. Similarities between 1 H NMR spectra of 23, 25, 27, and 13 are highlighted in Figure S15. Figure S15: 1 H NMR spectra (300 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) of 23, 25, 27, and 13. S87

The stereochemistry of 24 was secured through 2D NMR experiments. The 1 H 1 H NOESY spectrum is shown in Figure S16. Figure S16: 1 H 1 H NOESY NMR (400 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) spectrum of 24. S88

The stereochemistry of 14 was secured through 2D NMR experiments. The 1 H 1 H NOESY spectrum is shown in Figure S17. Figure S17: 1 H 1 H NOESY NMR (500 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) spectrum of 14. S89

The stereochemistries of 26, and 28 were assigned by comparison of 1 H NMR spectra with 24 and 14. Similarities between 1 H NMR spectra of 24, 26, 28, and 14 are highlighted in Figure S18. Figure S18: 1 H NMR spectra (300 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) of 24, 26, 28, and 14. S90

The stereochemistry of 32 was assigned through 2D NMR experiments. The 1 H 1 H NOESY spectrum is shown in Figure S19. Figure S19: 1 H 1 H NOESY NMR spectrum (800 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) of 32. S91

Similarities between 1 H NMR spectra of 50, 45, 40, 32, and 4 are highlighted in Figure S20. Single crystal X-ray analysis of 50 (Figure S7), 45 (Figure S5), 40 (Figure S3) and 4 9 secured the stereochemical assignments of compound 32. Figure S20: 1 H NMR spectra (300 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) of 50, 45, 40, 32 and parent [4]dendralene bis-adduct 4. 9 S92

The stereochemistry of minor bis-adduct 51 was also assigned by comparison of 1 H NMR spectra with minor bis-adduct 41. Similarities between 1 H NMR spectra of 51 and 41 are highlighted in Figure S22. Single crystal X-ray analysis of 41 (see Figure S4) secured the stereochemical assignments of compound 51.

Similarities between 1 H NMR spectra of 46 and parent [6]dendralene terminal-terminal bis-adduct B2 10 are highlighted in Figure S24. Tentative stereochemical assignment of compound 46 was made by 1 H NMR in analogy to similar compound B2. Figure S24: 1 H NMR spectra of 46 (300 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) and B2 10 (500 MHz, in CDCl 3 ). S96

The stereochemistry of tris-adduct 37 was assigned by comparison of 1 H NMR spectra with tris-adduct 9. Similarities between 1 H NMR spectra of 37 and 9 are highlighted in Figure S25. Single crystal X-ray analysis of 9 9 secured the stereochemical assignments of compound 37. Figure S25: 1 H NMR spectra (800 MHz, in CDCl 3 ) of 37 and parent [4]dendralene tris-adduct 9. 9 S97
