Abstract

Benzocyclobutenes constitute an important family of starting materials for the synthesis of a large variety of very interesting polycyclic compounds, 2 and convenient access to these structures is always appreciated. Our laboratory has been interested in the synthesis of benzocyclobutenes for some years and we have already published3 that benzocyclobutenols 1 could be easily obtained through arynic condensations of ketone ...
