The oxidative cyclization reactions of a variety of α-benzyl-cinnamates can be selectively performed with hypervalent iodine as an oxidant. The dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptenes were isolated in up to 55 % yield. When an oxo substrate is applied, the yield was significantly increased. With this synthetic approach, a central intermediate for the synthesis of metasequirin-B was obtained in three steps from very
