2-Benzyloxystyrene undergoes efficient carbolithiation-protonation at - 78°C. At higher temperatures, however, carbolithiation is followed by intramolecular alkylation to generate the corresponding 2-alkylphenol. 2- Alloxystyrenes are shown to undergo sim

Styrene and a range of aryl-substituted styrene derivatives are shown to undergo efficient carbolithiation-trapping reactions in diethyl ether at -78 to -25 °C. The reactivities of different types of organolithium reagents were found to be: tertiary, secondary > primary; ? alkenyl, methyl, phenyl. Electron donating groups (e.g. methoxy and dialkylamino) at the ortho- or para- positions of the benzene ring deactivate the double bond towards organolithium addition, but their reactions with butyllithium can be facilitated by using TMEDA as co-solvent. 2-Benzyloxystyrene and 2-allyloxystyrene undergo efficient carbolithiation at -78 °C, but at room temperature alkyl transfer occurs, generating the corresponding alkylated phenol. 2-Vinylnaphthalene also undergoes carbolithiation-carboxylation in reasonable yield.

Thermolysis of 1-phenyl-4H-1,3,2-benzodioxaborins generated the corresponding ortho-quinone methides, which were found to undergo intermolecular cycloaddition reactions with ethyl vinyl ether, dihydropyran, β-methylstyrene, cyclohexene, and 1-ethoxy-1-trimethylsiloxy-1-propenes to give various substituted chromans.Intramolecular trapping of the quinone methides with an olefin led to the syntheses of several analogs of tetrahydrocannabinols. ortho-Quinone methides, generated by treatment of the 2-phenyl-4H-1,3,2-benzodioxaborins with a Lewis acid, react with various nucleophiles to give the corresponding 1,4-addition products.Thus, alkyl and aryl thiols, alcohols, amine, hydride, allyl trimethylsilane, acetophenone, and diethyl malonate as well as some aryl compounds react with the quinone methide to give various 2-substituted phenols.Intramolecular reaction of the quinone methide with an aryl group led to the preparation of some 4-phenylchromans and tetralins.
