Abstract

The acylphosphoranes formed in a sequential manner from the reaction of the silyl ester of O- acyl (aroyl) salicylic acids and (trimethylsilyl) methylenetriphenylphosphorane undergo intramolecular Wittig cyclization on the ester carbonyl to afford the 4 H-chromen-4-ones in good to excellent yields.
