Addition of Grignard- or other organometallic reagents to 3-halocyclohex-2-en-
1-ones bearing an alkyl or aryl group at C-5, followed by mild acid treatment and exposure to
DBU at room temperature, generates meta-substituted phenols in which the newly introduced
meta substituent originates from the Grignard reagent. The range of effective organometallic
reagents includes alkyl, allyl, alkynyl, aryl and heteroaryl compounds including those with
fluorine substituents. The initial halocyclohexenone can be deprotonated at C-6 and reacted with
carbon, fluorine or sulfur electrophiles before the Grignard addition so as to generate highly
substituted phenols. -
