A DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF TRANS 2-ARYLBENZOCYCLOBUTENOL, A POTENTIAL INTERMEDIATE FOR PODOPHYLLOTOXIN SYNTHESIS: USE OF LDA FOR BENZYNE FORMATION AND TRAPPING
Jung, Michael E.,Lowen, Gregory T.
, p. 5319 - 5322 (1986)
Treatment of m-alkoxyaryl bromides with LDA in THF produces the corresponding aryne which can be trapped intramolecularly by an anion α to a nitrile to produce a substituted benzocyclobutenyl nitrile, the precursor of a trans arylbenzocyclobutenol potenti
