Abstract
The Diels-Alder reaction of methyl 4-hydroxy-2-butenoate and alpha-hyd roxy o-quinodimethanes, generated from 1,2-dihydrobenzocyclobuten-1-ol derivatives by thermolysis, proceeds by the use of phenylboronic acid as a template. Boron reagents trap an alpha-hydroxy o-quinodimethane hylene-6-(1-hydroxyalkylidene)-1,3-cyclohexadiene) generated photochem ically from o-tolualdehyde and the Diels-Alder reaction with methyl 4- hydroxy-2-butenoate occurs to give the cycloadducts.
