Abstract
Arylpropionic acid methyl esters having a MOM-protected hydroxy group at the ortho position underwent hydroarylation with various arylboronic acids in MeOH at ambient temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuOAc, resulting in the formation of 4-arylcoumarins in high yields after the acidic workup.
