The dearomatizing spirocyclization of phenolic biarylic ketones using PhI(OCOCF3)2 as oxidant is presented. The reaction affords various cyclohexadienones through C-C bond cleavage under mild conditions. Mechanistic investigations reveal that an exocyclic enol ether acts as the key intermediate in the transformation.
