Medium-sized lactones (eight- to eleven-membered rings) are efficiently formed by Cu(bpy)Cl catalyzed cyclization of various alkenyl di- and trichloroacetates at temperatures between 80 and 190°C in 1,2-dichloroethane or benzene as solvents. The mechanism of the alkene addition reaction is best understood as a chlorine atom transfer process through radical type intermediates. Exclusive endo-cyclization
