Abstract

1-Methoxyisobenzofuran is formed by treatment of 1, 3-dihydro-l, l-dimethoxyisobenzofuran with either a trace of acetic acid in refluxing toluene or with LDA at 70" C. The requirements to obtain Diels-Alder adducts under both sets of conditions are examined, and various products are characterized.
