Covering: 2015 to March 2017 ortho -Benzoquinones generated from dearomatization of aromatic compounds are highly reactive intermediates in organic synthesis. One of their most important applications involves the participation in Diels-Alder cycloadditions, facilitating rapid access to molecular com...
