Abstract

Various aryl alkynoates and alkynanilides undergo fast intramolecular reaction at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2 and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as solvent to afford coumarins and quinolinones in good yields. The reaction tolerates a number of functional groups such as Br and CHO.
