Abstract
LiTMP-LiBr complex facilitates a novel cross-ester coupling of 2-methoxy o-toluate esters to directly yield isocoumarin without the formation of any carbonyl intermediate is demonstrated. Aggregation plays a pivotal role in driving proximity-induced lateral lithiation, and expediting acylation. Apart from many natural products precursors synthesis of (+)- and (-)-lunatinins is showed.
