Abstract

A low-temperature method for generating o-quinone methides is described which permits facile introduction of assorted R substituents onto the aryl ring system at low temperature. The method is useful for the efficient preparation of ortho-ring-alkylated phenols. ... Figure 1 Traditional methods for ortho elaboration of phenols. ... In principle, an o-quinone methide, such as 1, may pose a useful solution for constructing substituted aromatic systems of these kinds. However, ...
