A new class of substituted seven-membered lactones 3 were conveniently synthesized via cyclization of o-iodobenzyl alcohol 1 (o-IC(6)H(4)CH(2)OH) with various propiolates 2 (RC triple bond CCOOMe) in the presence of Ni(dppe)Br(2) and Zn powder in acetonitrile at 80 degrees C.

The Zr-catalyzed methylalumination of heterosubstituted arylethynes containing O, S, Cl, and Si can proceed in high yields (>70%) and in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner (≥98-99%), although SO(2)Ph, Br, and Cl in a benzylic position present serious chemoselectivity-related problems.
