Lactonization with concomitant 1,2-aryl migration and alkoxylation mediated by dialkoxyphenyl iodides generated in situ

Abstract

A series of alkoxylated isobenzofuranones were conveniently synthesized from the reaction of 2-(1-arylvinyl)benzoic acids with PhI(OR)2, generated in situ from the reaction of iodosobenzene (PhIO) with alkyl alcohols. This hypervalent iodine mediated one-pot transformation is postulated to undergo a cascade reaction involving lactonization, 1,2-aryl migration and alkoxylation processes. The organocatalytic and chiral organoiodine-catalyzed asymmetric reactions of the current transformation were also probed.
