Diels-Alder reaction of methyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes (1) with 1,2-dibromoethylene gave dibromomethylcyclohexenes (2), which were subjected to epoxidation, followed by dehydrobromination of the resultant dibromo oxides (3) to afford 3-methylbenzene oxide (4a) and 1-methylbenzene oxide (4b). However, 4-methylbenzene oxide (4c) could not be obtained in this way.
