Palladium‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Benzofurans and Coumarins from Phenols and Olefins

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.
