Abstract
A wide variety of 3-halospiro[4.5]trienones are readily prepared in good to excellent yields by the intramolecular ipso-halocyclization of 4-(p-methoxyaryl)-1-alkynes under mild reaction conditions. ICl, I2, and Br2 are all effective electrophiles for this process under carefully optimized reaction conditions.
