Abstract
Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of aryl 2-(allyloxy) benzoates 5 and of the corresponding aryl 2-(allylthio) benzoates 6 at 650° C, gives dibenzofurans 19 and dibenzothiophenes 20, respectively. The mechanism involves generation of phenoxyl (or thiophenoxyl) radicals by homolysis of the O-allyl (or S-allyl) bond, followed by ipso attack at the ester group, loss of CO2 and cyclisation of the resulting aryl radical. Synthetically, the procedure works well ...
