Dienol ethers of octalinones gave tetralins in lower yields and under more vigorous conditions. Monocyclic dienol di-ethers gave aryl ethers, while monocyclic enol ethers failed to give dienes. Attempts to generate trienes from bicyclic, non-aromatizable dienol ethers failed and resulted in isomerization of the double bonds.71 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
