Abstract

Bismuth (III) triflate [Bi (OTf) 3] has been developed as an efficient and mild catalyst for intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclizations of tertiary alcohols to prepare disubstituted tetrahydronapthalenes, chromans, thiochromans, tetrahydroquinolines, and tetrahydroiso- quinolines. The method represents a unified strategy to synthesize a variety of ring systems from tertiary alcohols using a common Lewis acid.
