Abstract
A simple switch in reaction conditions enables facile and efficient syntheses of various valuable 3-aryl- and 3-aroylcoumarins by direct arylation and aroylation of coumarins with glyoxals in a metal-free manner. This approach accommodates a broad substrate scope and high yields of the two types of cross-coupling reactions starting from identical starting materials.
