Abstract: A catalyst-free photochemical synthesis of 3-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ols via heterocyclization of 2-[2-(trifluoroacetyl)phenoxy]acetic acids by irradiation with 365 nm light is proposed.

Keywords: photochemistry, organofluorine compounds, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ol, 2-(trifluoroacetyl)phenols, cyclization.
