1,2-Benzenedimethanol was reacted under a helium stream in the presence of [(Nb6Cl12)Cl2(H2O) 4]·4H2O supported on silica gel. When the temperature was raised above 200 °C, catalytic activity of the cluster for cyclization appeared, yielding 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran in 91% selectivity at 350 °C. The corresponding halide clusters of tantalum and tungsten also catalyzed the reaction. cis-1,2-Cyclohexanedimethanol and 1,4-butanediol exclusively produced the corresponding furans. 1,2-Benzenedimethanamine and 1,2-benzenedimethanethiol selectively afforded isoindoline and 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene, respectively.
