title: Ortho-dearomatization of phenols creating all-carbon spiro-bicycles.
abstract: A range of alkene-linked phenols are generally and reliably dearomatized specifically at their ortho-positions to create all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers at the corresponding spiro-ring junctions, thus establishing a viable solution to the long-standing synthetic challenge.
