Abstract

We present a novel three-step protocol for preparing xanthene/thioxanthene and dibenzothiepine/dibenzoxepine from readily available starting materials. The Mizoroki-Heck cyclization as the final step was optimized to afford full conversion of the corresponding diaryl (thio)ethers and furthermore to achieve reasonably good selectivity between the 6-exo and the 7-endo products.
