Abstract
A variety of trimethylsiloxy-substituted butadienes, including novel 1-methoxy-1,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy)butadiene, react in a Diels–Alder process with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. The adducts were converted, via elimination or oxidative aromatization, into four corresponding dimethyl hydroxy-substituted phthalates in good to moderate yields.
