The Diels-Alder Reaction of 2-Ethenyl-1,4-Benzodioxin: A New and Simple Synthesis of Bisaryl Ethers

Abstract
2-Ethenyl-1,4-benzodioxin undergoes a facile cycloaddition with a variety of dienophiles to give access to potentially valuable tricyclic systems. Additionally, the new products can be used as the basis for a novel short synthesis of often inaccessible 2-hydroxy-substituted bisaryl ethers by ring opening of the benzodioxin nucleus.
