Abstract

Triple C-H functionalization: Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of benzofurans and coumarins by reacting phenols and unactivated olefins is described. The reaction comprises sequential C-H functionalization and shows diverse functional group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic studies shed light into the possible mechanisms.
