Treating the benzyl protected 3-hydroxy-1,3-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones solely with PhI(OAc)2 (PIDA) in DCE at room temperature readily furnished the seldom studied spiro-2,2′-benzo[b]furan-3,3′-ones in satisfactory to excellent yields. The hypervalent iodine reagent enables the metal-free cascade spirocyclization resulting in the dual oxidative C?O bond formation. (Figure presented.).
