Abstract

The acid catalysed rearrangement of 1-hydroxy-2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-9H-xanthen-9-ones can give 1-alkoxy-or 1-alkylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-xanthen-9-ones and/or 3,4-dihydro-9H-xanthen-9-ones depending on the conditions employed. The last compounds undergo facile Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions.
