Abstract
Intramolecular Friedel–Crafts acylation reactions of 2-arylphenoxyacetic acids are accomplished using trifluoroacetic anhydride or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid at 0 °C or room temperature. Depending on the reaction conditions, dibenzoxepines or arylcoumaranones are obtained in good yields and with high selectivities (83–100%). Plausible mechanistic pathways for the selective formation of the different reaction products are discussed.
