The letter describes a novel concept for the synthesis of biologically important arylphenylmethanols. Stereoselective cyclohexadienyl transfer from 1,4-cyclohexadienyltributyltin to various aromatic aldehydes using AgOTf/BINAP as a catalyst precursor provides 1,4-cyclohexadienylphen-ylmethanols that are readily oxidized to the corresponding arylphenylmethanols. Fifteen examples are presented.

A carboxylate-assisted palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck arylation of electron-deficient internal alkenes is described herein. This protocol utilized a free carboxylic acid as the directing group for regio- and stereoselective Mizoroki-Heck arylation of β-cyclohexadienyl acrylates and styrenes with various aryl iodides. The synthetic application has been exhibited by decarboxylative aromatization and iodolactonization/hydrolysis of the resulting polyenes providing trisubstituted alkenes and structurally diverse hydroxyl lactones.

Cis- and trans-1,2-dihydrodiol isomers of benzene undergo acid-catalyzed dehydration to form phenol. In principle the isomeric substrates react through a common β-hydroxybenzenium (cyclohexadienyl) carbocation. Notwithstanding, the isomers show a large difference in reactivity, k(cis)/k(trans) = 4500.

Carbolithiation has been studied with alkyllithium reagents in a series of six- through nine-membered 3-methylene-1,4-cycloalkadienes, efficiently producing the corresponding cyclic pentadienyl carbanions. These pentadienyl anions display unique reactivity, depending on ring size. Cyclooctadienyl anions readily undergo disrotatory electrocyclization to cis-bicyclo[3.

Arene ruthenium complexes possessing beta-amido phosphonate side chains participate in intramolecular spirocyclization reactions to deliver stable cyclohexadienyl ruthenium adducts. Spirocyclization is accomplished via a tandem two-step sequence that involves stereoselective nucleophilic aromatic addition to the ipso position of the coordinated arene, followed by intermolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination. The resulting eta5-cyclohexadienyl complexes can then be diastereoselectively converted to metal-free azaspiro[4.
