Abstract

Like a Swiss army knife: The pentacycle shown, which results from the anodic oxidation of 2,4-dimethylphenol, displays a wealth of potential reactivity. Depending on the applied reaction conditions a variey of polycyclic architectures are obtained with impressive stereo-, regio-, and chemoselectivity.
