Abstract

Spirodienone 1, prepared by Adler-Becker oxidation of 4-bromo-2-hydroxymethylphenol, undergoes [4+ 2] cycloaddition with various dienophiles (enol ethers, enol esters, styrenes, N-methylvinylacetamide) under thermal conditions (20–160° C). Three sets of experiments have been carried out, either with CH2Cl2 as solvent or neat with 1, or under tandem oxidation-cycloaddition conditions with phase-transfer catalysis.
