Lewis acid-promoted generation of α-oxy- o-quinodimethanes and cycloaddition reactions

Treatment of stannyl aldehydes 5a, 5 b, and ketone 5c with MgBr 2 as the Lewis acid catalyst can initiate the internal cleavage reactions of carbon-tin σ bond leading to α-oxy-o-quinodimethanes, which can then undergo Diels - Alder cycloadditions. Anhydrous magnesium bromide can effectively promote...

Summary:Treatment of stannyl aldehydes 5a, 5 b, and ketone 5c with MgBr 2 as the Lewis acid catalyst can initiate the internal cleavage reactions of carbon-tin σ bond leading to α-oxy-o-quinodimethanes, which can then undergo Diels - Alder cycloadditions. Anhydrous magnesium bromide can effectively promote to conversion of 5 to α- oxy -o -quinodimethanes 7, which can then undergo Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions.
