title: Synthesis of spiro compounds through tandem oxidative coupling and a framework rearrangement reaction.
abstract: A highly efficient oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols and a rearrangement tandem reaction to afford unique spiro compounds in the presence of FeCl(3).6H(2)O in up to 88% yield have been developed.
