4-Chloroisocoumarins can be conveniently prepared from 2-alkynylaryloate esters via the activation of alkynes by electrophilic chlorine, generated in situ from N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) in the presence of 10 mol % trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl), which leads to 6-endo-dig-selective chlorinative annulation to give the desired products in moderate to quantitative yields. The procedure employs readily
A bromide salt mediated neighboring ester-participated bromocyclization of o-alkynylbenzoates is described here for synthesis of benzil-o-carboxylate. 4-bromoisocoumarins are also reached when phenyl o-alkynylbenzoate is used as the substrate. Mechanism studies suggest that the whole process is comprised by electrophilic bromocyclization and dibromohydration-based ring-opening, and the neighboring

A triflicacid (TfOH) mediated sequential cyclization of ortho-alkynylarylesters and ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) was reported. The reaction took place via a Brønsted acid-mediated intramolecular cyclization of ortho-alkynylarylesters followed by an ammonium acetate participated substitution reaction, forming isoquinolin-1-ones as the major products. Different from most of the known synthetic methods
