Formation of o-quinone methides (oQM) by desilylation of the
phenolic OH group under basic conditions has also reported. For the
recent generation of oQM in situ, see, A. A. Jaworski and K. A.
Scheidt, J. Org. Chem., 2016, 81, 10145. Very recently, generation of
pQMs in situ in basic condition were reported by use of an equimolar
amount of base. See, (a) Y.-J. Fan, L. Zhoua and S. Li, Org. Chem.

participation of the phenolic OH group in 3aa was proved for
deacetylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with
phenylboronic acid after its conversion to the corresponding
triflate. Transformation of the phenol ring in 3ac was performed
to give the spirocyclic
8 which furnished a nice crystal for
crystallographic analysis to confirm its spiro structure possessing
a CF3-containing quaternary carbon atom (see ESI for the
detailed information).15 In conclusion, we have succeeded for
the first time in construction of quaternary carbon centers
containing a CF3 group via pQMs
starting from readily available substrates

reaction was clearly demonstrated by its wide substrate scope,
and another advantage was clarified by the fact that the products

indicated their high potency as convenient building blocks.
Further applications of this reaction as well as the obtained
products are ongoing in our group.
