The cobalt-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of trimethylsilyl-substituted alkynes with 1,3-dienes led to dihydroaromatic intermediates which were transformed into iodobenzene derivatives. For this transformation, the dihydroaromatic intermediates had to be oxidized and the trimethylsilyl-substituted arene had to undergo a silicon-iodine exchange reaction.
