Rh(II)-catalyzed and Cu(I)-mediated synthesis of furopyridones using N-substituted pyridones and diazonaphthoquinones: applications in photophysical studies.

An efficient one-pot synthesis of furopyridones has been developed via Rh(II)-catalyzed C5-H arylation of 2-pyridones with diazonaphthoquinones, followed by Cu(I)-mediated oxidative C-O bond formation at the C6 position. The method is simple and has…
