We report a new method for preparation of hydroxyacids as precursors of benzolactones using a simple and an efficient electrochemical step. This gives in only four steps six- to eleven-membered lactones with high isolated yields from conveniently substituted aryl bromides. The lactonisation was performed according to the Yamamoto's process.
