Abstract
Reduction of the Diels-Alder product from 2-methoxycarbonyl-1,4-benzoquinone and 1,3-dimethoxybuta-1,3-diene gave a dihydroxyenol ether which rearranged to a bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone on treatment with acid; in EtOH, intramolecular acetal formation without rearrangement was observed.
Key words
acetals - Diels-Alder reactions - rearrangements - stereoselective synthesis - terpenoids
