An easy and useful method for the preparation of simple 1-phenoxy-2-tr
ialkylsiloxy-1,3-dienes in high yields, has been established and their
reactivity in the Diels-Alder reaction at room temperature has been s
tudied. By this procedure, phenoxy substituted cyclohexenes and cycloh
exanones of known relative stereochemistry can be obtained. Copyright
