GENERAL REGIOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF ANNULATED QUINONES

A general regiospecific synthesis of annulated hydroquinones/quinones is presented. This specifically involves the thermal rearrangement of the 4-aryl-4-hydroxycyclobutenones 1a-k to the corresponding annulated hydroquinones. The synthetic scope and mechanism of this rearrangement are discussed.
