A new synthesis of isochromans and phtalans

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919208021607

A short and efficient synthesis of isochromans and phtalans has been devised. This synthesis involves the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclialkylation of oxonium species generated by reaction of MEM ethers with Lewis acids.
