Literature References

Under u.v. irradiation, o-tolualdehyde generates exclusively the (E)-dienol form which may be trapped by cycloaddition with the acrylate (or fumarate) ester of methyl lactate, to give a single diastereomer of the tetrahydronaphthalene derivative: Can. J. Chem., 67, 574 (1989): The imine with t-butylamine undergoes lateral lithiation with LDA at the o-methyl group; see, e.g.: J. Org. Chem., 59, 2616 (1994).
