Regioselective synthesis of 4-chlorophenols, 10-chloro-7-hydroxy-6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones, and 4-chloro-1-hydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-ones based on [3+3] cyclizations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-dienes with 2-chloro-3-silyloxy-2-en-1-ones

A variety of 4-chlorophenols, 10-chloro-7-hydroxy-6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones, and 4-chloro-1-hydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-ones were prepared by formal [3+3] cyclizations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-dienes with 2-chloro-3-(silyloxy)alk-2-en-1-ones.
