title: Iodine(III)-mediated tandem acetoxylation-cyclization of o-acyl phenols for the facile construction of alpha-acetoxy benzofuranones.
abstract: An efficient tandem acetoxylation-cyclization of o-acylphenols mediated by the combination of iodobenzene diacetate with tetrabutylammonium iodide provides a new convenient and useful route to alpha-acetoxy benzofuranones.
