A process for synthesizing 1,4-benzodioxin, through oxidation of a phenol to an o-quinone followed by treatment with an enamine, has been developed. Adduct stereochemistry is found to be retained via this one-pot reaction. The method uses hypervalent iodine reagent under mild conditions and is compatible with a wide scope of phenols and enamines.
