Copper(ii) bromide-catalyzed intramolecular decarboxylative functionalization to form a C(sp3)–O bond for the synthesis of furo[3,2-c]coumarins†
Abstract
An efficient and eco-friendly copper(II) bromide-catalyzed intramolecular decarboxylative functionalization to form a C(sp3)–O bond for the synthesis of furo[3,2-c]coumarins has been developed. In this reaction, a copper(II) bromide-catalyzed intramolecular decarboxylative functionalization of α-carbonyl is successfully realized to generate an α-bromo carbonyl compound as a key intermediate.
