Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of masked p-benzoquinones: A novel methodology for the synthesis of highly functionalized cis-decalins
Tethering of dienols to hydroquinones under Mitsunobu conditions followed by oxidation with diacetoxyiodobenzene in methanol resulted in the development of highly functionalized cis-decalins via intramolecular Diels- Alder reactions of in situ generated m
