Abstract
A new carbamoyl Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement allows a general synthesis of substituted 4-hydroxycoumarins in good overall yields. Intermediate arylketones are efficiently prepared via a Directed ortho Metalation - Negishi cross coupling protocol from arylcarbamates. The overall sequence provides a regiospecific anionic Friedel-Crafts complement for the construction of ortho-acyl phenols and coumarins.
