A tin(IV) chloride assisted iodo-cyclization of 2-allylphenol gave 2-iodomethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran. A similar cyclization of 2-crotylphenol gave 3-iodo-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran, exclusively. By iodination with mercury(II) oxide-iodine reagent in dichloromethane, 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans or 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyrans including the above benzocyclic ethers were easily converted to the corresponding 5- or 6-iodo derivatives, regioselectively, in good yield.
