MOB tactics : A novel oxidation of masked o‐ benzoquinones (MOBs) 1 occurs by singlet‐oxygen‐triggered ring contraction to form cyclopentenone derivatives 2 and by [4+2] cycloaddition to give endoperoxides 3 . The competing pathways are directed by solvents and allow access to a variety of functionalized cyclopentenes.
