A fluorine anion-mediated diphosphination of ortho-quinone methide precursors (2-(chloromethyl)silyloxybenzenes) with diphosphines has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions (CH2Cl2 solvent, 0 °C) to form the corresponding 2-(phosphinomethyl)oxyphosphinobenzenes, which are potential bidentate ligands in metal catalysis. Additionally, some mechanistic investigations are

A novel enantioselective [4 + 2] annulation of the allenoates having a unique positive ortho-effect with in situ generated ortho-quinone methides has been developed under the catalysis of Cinchonaalkaloid. This chiral amine-catalyzed reaction provides an alternative route to asymmetric catalytic construction of synthetically interesting, highly functionalized chiral chromans in good to excellent

The synthesis of alpha-aryl ketones is accomplished by the direct nucleophilic acylation of o-quinone methide electrophiles. In this process, two reactive intermediates, carbonyl anions and o-quinone methides, are generated in one flask upon treatment of the corresponding thiazolium carbinols and silyl protected phenols with a soluble fluoride source. These intermediates then undergo productive addition reactions to afford the desired alpha-aryl ketone adducts. This new strategy has been applied to a short synthesis of the natural product demethylmoracin I.
