title: Direct lactone formation by using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents with KBr via selective C-H abstraction protocol.
abstract: We have developed a new and reliable method for the direct construction of biologically important aryl lactones and phthalides from carboxylic and benzoic acids, using a combination of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents with KBr.
