Abstract
Phenols are an important group of organic compounds,(1) with many natural products such as polyketides, coumarins and flavonoids containing mono- or poly-phenolic moieties. The synthesis of substituted phenols from pyranone precursors is presented. A variety of pronucleophiles were used in combination with tert-butanol as solvent and potassium tert-butoxide as base, using both conventional heating methods and microwave conditions.
