27. It has been anticipated that generation of QM under acidic conditions may not be compatible with electron-rich aromatic systems and would lead to increased dimerization of QM or side reactions between QMs and nucleophiles. While nucleophilic addition to quinone methides has been studied before, the use of electron-rich aromatic compounds as nucleophiles for such reaction has been scarcely described before. For some examples, see: (a) Lau, C. K.; Williams, H. W. R.; Tardiff, S.; Dufresne, C.; Scheigetz, J.; Belanger, P. C. Can. J. Chem. 1989, 67, 1384-1387;

31. A similar reaction using p-methoxybenzyl alcohol as a starting material gave 11- in 86% yield but as an inseparable mixture with a dimer, resulting from dehydration of p-methoxybenzyl alcohol under the reaction condition.
