Abstract
The development of an oxa-Diels–Alder reaction between sultines and carbonyl compounds is reported. o-Quinodimethanes, generated from sultines, undergo a [4+2]-cycloaddition with activated aldehydes and ketones in the presence of Cu(OTf)2 to provide a variety of functionalized isochromans, including spiroisochromans, in up to 99% yield. The developed protocol demonstrates broad functional group compatibility, also tolerating unprotected isatins bearing free NH-functionalities.
