Abstract
We investigated the acid-catalyzed skeletal rearrangement reaction of variously m-, p-substituted diaryl homoquinone epoxides. The epoxide-opening reactions was accompanied by the transannular cyclization of endo-aryl group. Both ortho and ipso transannular products were obtained. We also examined the kinetic substituent effects on these epoxide ring-opening reactions. The results indicated that the ring cleavage of epoxide involves the remote π-aryl participation.
