Abstract

The treatment of benzocyclobutenol with a mild base has been investigated. This reaction results in an electrocyclic opening of the cyclobutene to the corresponding o‐quinodimethane, which has been successfully treated with aldehydes and electron‐deficient alkenes to form benzolactols and benzocyclohexenes respectively.
