A strong-base induced [4+2] cycloaddition of homophthalic anhydrides with enolizable enones: a direct and efficient synthesis of peri-hydroxy aromatic compounds
Abstract
A direct and efficient synthesis of peri-hydroxy aromatic compounds via a strong-base induced [4+2] cycloaddition of homophthalic anhydrides with α-phenylsulfinyl enolizable enones has been accomplished.
