Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of masked p-benzoquinones: a novel methodology for the synthesis of highly functionalized cis-decalins

摘要

[[abstract]]Tethering of dienols to hydroquinones under Mitsunobu conditions followed by oxidation with diacetoxyiodobenzene in methanol resulted in the development of highly functionalized cis-decalins via intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of in situ generated masked p-benzoquinones.
