Regiospecificallysubstituted 2-hydroxybenzocyclobutenones were synthesized from the corresponding TBS protected 2-bromo-mandelate esters via halogen–metal exchange, cyclization, and subsequent deprotection. Keywords: 2-hydroxybenzocyclobutenones, halogen–metal exchange, benzocyclobutenediones, 2-bromomandelate esters.
Facile Access to Versatile Polyaromatic Building Blocks: Selectively Protected Benzocyclobutenedione Derivatives via Regioselective [2+2] Cycloaddition of -Alkoxybenzyne and Ketene Silyl Acetal
facile, divergent access to highly oxygenated benzocyclobutene derivatives was developed via the regioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of α-alkoxybenzynes and ketene silyl acetals. The cycloadducts could be converted to selectively protected alkoxybenzocyclobutenediones, an attractive class of compounds for the synthesis of polyaromatic compounds. As one possible application, divergent access to a regioisomer
