The selective oxidation of the two different benzylethereal position of 3-a
rylisochromans by dimethyldioxirane as a function of different substituents
on the aromatic rings was studied. The easy oxidation of these compounds w
as exploited for a new easy access to substituted 3-arylisocoumarins. (C) 1
