The reaction of β-dicarbonyl phenyliodonium ylides with diphenylketene at room temperature affords mixtures of lactone and aurone derivatives. The initial electrophilic attack of the iodonium ylide on the Cβ position of the diphenylketene, followed by cyclization of the zwitterionic species, and subsequent ejection of iodobenzene, affords the lactone and aurone cycloadducts. Treatment of β-dicarbonyl iodonium ylides with acyl chlorides yields α-chloroenones with good to excellent yields.
