Abstract

Novel and efficient syntheses of quinone imine ketals (2a-j) and quinone imines (4a-h) from substituted phenol ethers (1a-k) bearing an alkyl azido side-chain using the combination of hypervalent iodine (III) reagent, phenyliodine (III) bis (trifluoroacetate)(PIFA) and trimethylsilyl trifuoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf), have been developed.
