Treatment of phenols or anilines containing a sulfonyl group in the presence of a hypervalent iodine reagent promotes a formal dearomatizing [2 + 3] cycloaddition reaction on unactivated benzene and naphthalene derivatives. This process occurs via an intramolecular nucleophilic addition to the Wheland species generated during the oxidative activation. Subsequent treatment under acidic conditions readily transforms the tricyclic system into a biaryl via a formal cross-coupling process.
