高碘酸鈉氧化鄰烷基羥基苯酚得到 6,6-螺-2,4-環己二烯酮化合物，接著自發通過Diels–Alder加成二聚的反應。此反應也被稱為Adler-Singh反應。
反應機理
高碘酸鈉通過與底物的酚羥基和烷基羥基配位后氧化，得到6,6-螺-2,4-環己二烯酮化合物，接著自身進行D-A加成反應得到產物。
反應實例
NaIO4 (47 g,0.22 mol) inwater (1 L)was addedtoa stirred solution of 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol 1 (n = 1, 24.83 g, 0.2 mol) in water (1.5 L).After 10 min, colorless crystals appear.The mixture was kept for 24 h at 4 C in the dark. The crystalline product was filtered, washed (water) and dried in vacuum over P2O5 to afford 18.05 g of 3 (74%), mp 194–195 C.
