The synthetic procedure employs mild reaction conditions and gives high chemoselectivity enabled by an inexpensive organodiselane catalyst. The presented approach offers a new synthetic pathway toward the core structures of phthalide natural products.Selenium-Catalyzed C(sp(3))-H Acyloxylation: Application in the Expedient Synthesis of Isobenzofuranonesjournal_article10.1002/chem.20140629025808950000353348100008
