Abstract

The selective oxidation of the two different benzylethereal position of 3-arylisochromans by dimethyldioxirane as a function of different substituents on the aromatic rings was studied. The easy oxidation of these compounds was exploited for a new easy access to substituted 3-arylisocoumarins.
