This chapter highlights recent developments in phenol dearomatization using organoiodane reagents and a selection of applications in natural product synthesis.

Phenol Dearomatization with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents.

Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Masked Ortho‐Benzoquinones and Their Applications in Organic Synthesis

Facile one-pot synthesis of (benzoxazol-2ʹ-yl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octen-2-one derivatives

On prepare un compose tricyclique de structure voisine de celle des precurseurs des podocarpanes, par cycloaddition du vinylcyclohexene avec l'acide benzoquinone-1,4 carboxylique. On etudie la structure cristalline du compose et on explique par une etude theorique la stereochimie de la reaction

9,10-syn-podocarpane diterpenoids. An approach to the tricyclic skeleton by Diels-Alder cycloaddition: related crystal structure determination and theoretical aspects

Masked o-benzoquinones generated in situ from o-methoxyphenols and methanol undergo Diels—Alder reaction with 1-vinylcyclohexenes to provide decahydrophenanthrenes along with bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone derivatives.
