4-Chloroisocoumarins can be conveniently prepared from 2-alkynylaryloate esters via the activation of alkynes by electrophilic chlorine, generated in situ from N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) in the presence of 10 mol % trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl), which leads to 6-endo-dig-selective chlorinative annulation to give the desired products in moderate to quantitative yields. The procedure employs readily available reagents and can be conveniently carried out on a wide scope of substrates under mild conditions (0 °C to rt). Furthermore, the reaction is scalable for gram-scale preparation of 4-chloroisocoumarins. Additionally, 4-bromo- and 4-iodoisocoumarins can be prepared in moderate to good yields by replacing NCS with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and N-iodosuccinimide (NIS), respectively.
