A metal-free tandem Friedel-Crafts/lactonization reaction to 3,3-diaryl or 3-alkyl-3-aryl benzofuranones catalyzed by HClO4 was reported. A variety of tertiary alpha-hydroxy acid esters could readily react with substituted phenols to afford the desired products in rich diversity. The synthetic utility of the products was demonstrated by the synthesis of polycyclic compounds. H-1 NMR studies supported that this tandem reaction proceeded via tandem Friedel-Crafts/lactonization sequence.
