A novel palladium catalyzed homodimerization of ortho -hydroxyphenyl substituted p -QMs has been developed via [4 + 2] cycloaddition/oxidative dehydrogenation coupling domino reactions. An interesting palladium catalyzed intramolecular benzyl C-H oxidation dehydrogenation to form a transannular C(sp 3 )-O bond was found. This protocol provided an efficient method to construct various dibenzodioxo[3.3.1]nonanes bearing spirocyclohexadienones.
