Abstract
A highly efficient and selective palladium-catalyzed ligand-free cyclocarbonylation reaction of o-iodophenols with terminal acetylenes under atmospheric CO pressure affords diversified chromones in very good yields. The use of a phosphonium salt ionic liquid as the reaction medium enhances the efficiency of the cyclocarbonylation reaction.
