Abstract
A simple and highly efficient strategy for the synthesis of 3-substituted isocoumarins from 1-(2-halophenyl)-1,3-diones is based on a cascade copper(I)-catalyzed intramolecular Ullmann-type C-arylation and rearrangement process. This methodology tolerates a wide range of substrates and is applicable to library synthesis.
