Palladium-Catalyzed Regioselective Vinylogous Hydrocarbofunctionalization and Dicarbofunctionalization of Unactivated Alkenes with Methyl Coumarins.

The first Pd(II)-catalyzed vinylogous hydrocarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with methyl coumarins is developed. A cleavable bidentate directing group is used to control the regioselectivity. A wide range of unactivated alkenes and methyl…
