We describe an aerobic intramolecular dearomative coupling reaction of tethered phenols using a catalytic system consisting of a chromium-salen (Cr-salen) complex combined with a nitroxyl radical. This novel catalytic system enables formation of various spirocyclic dienone products including those unable to be accessed by previously reported methods efficiently under mild reaction conditions.
