The present studies were 2-substituted-4-meethoxyphenol as starting materials to prepare different kinds of masked p-benzoquinones (MPBs) 49, 54, 58 and 63. These compounds subsequently underwent cyclopropanation with Corey-Chaykovsky reagent to obtain bicycle[4.1.0]heptenones 50, 55, 59 and 64. We have found that the effects of electron-withdrawing group and electron donating group will cause the rigioselectivity of the cyclopropanation of MPB’s double bonds. After hydrolysis, the diketones 51, 56, 60 and 65 were obtained. Wealso treated bicycle [4.1.0] heptenone 50 and 59 with Grignard reagents to generate the precursors 68 and 69 of troponoids.
