The novel homoisoflavanone scillascillin has been synthesized from phloroglucinol. The sequence described represents the first synthesis of a naturally occuring benzocyclobutene. The first example of a silyl transfer involving an 8-membered transition state is reported.
Benzocyclobutenes' have been found to be quite useful species for the synthesis of several types of compounds, including members of the alkaloid,\* steroid,3 and polycyclic ter-penoid4 classes of natural products. The key step in each of these syntheses may be rationalized in terms of a (2+4) cycloa
