Diels-Alder reactions of masked o-benzoquinones (MOBs)
Abstract
Masked o-benzoquinones (MOBs) 63-65, which can be considered as o-quinone methides 1 (o-QMs) derivatives, are o-benzoquinones that are protected at one of the carbonyl functionalities. MOBs, can react as either a diene or a dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction, but are also highly reactive and dimerize rapidly. The masked o-benzoquinone 229, generated in situ by the pyrolysis of o-eugenol dimer 230, reacts with acyclic alkenes 241 and produces bicyclo[2.2.2]octenones 242. In most of the cases ortho, anti-products were obtained as single isomers, except from three cases which resulted to mixture of isomers (endo-exo). Two of the products (242ζ, 2420) were irradiated so as to give the oxa-di-π-methane rearrangement (ODPM) products (244, 246) but the irradiation was unsuccessful and led to the decarbonylate products (243, 245) with simultaneous cyclopropane ring formation. Similarly, the masked o-benzoquinones 232, 234, 236 and 238 generated in situ by the pyrolysis of the dimers 233, 2 ...
