2,5-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)furans are established as vicinal bisketene equivalents for application as dienes in the Diels–Alder reaction. Cycloaddition with olefinic dienophiles, under exceptionally mild conditions, enables convergent access to highly substituted para-hydroquinones in unprotected form via a one-pot Diels–Alder/ring-opening/tautomerization sequence. The synthesis of para-benzoquinones from acetylenic dienophiles, including benzynes, is also demonstrated, and 2,5-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)pyrroles are established as competent dienes for the synthesis of para-iminoquinones. Application in natural product synthesis enables gram-scale access to the neuroprotective agent (±)-indanostatin.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
