Abstract

C–H bond functionalization offers strategically novel approaches to complex organic compounds. However, many C–H functionalization reactions suffer from poor compatibility with Lewis basic functional groups, especially amines, which are often essential for biological activity. This study describes a systematic examination of the substrate scope of catalytic hydroarylation in the context of complex amino coumarin synthesis. The choice of ...
