Abstract

A variety of 6-(trichloromethyl)salicylates (=2-hydroxy-6-(trichloromethyl) benzoates) were prepared by TiCl4-mediated cyclization of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)buta-1,3-dienes with 1,1,1-trichloro-4,4-dimethoxybut- 3-en-2-one. The employment of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (Me 3SiOTf) as Lewis acid resulted in the formation of trichloromethyl-substituted cyclohexenones. The cyclizations proceeded with good-to-very-good regioselectivities.
