Chemical equations presented. An NHC-catalyzed, regio- and stereoselective oxidative cyclization of o-alkynylbenzaldehydes bearing an unactivated alkyne moiety as an internal electrophile has been developed to afford phthalides and isocoumarins. A single organocatalytic system enabled two sequential C-O bond formations to take place in an atom economical manner via highly efficient dual activation. Molecular oxygen in air could be utilized as a source of an oxygen atom for the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding benzoic acids under our newly developed reagent system.
