A. Arcadi et al., Palladium-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of o-ethynylphenols and vinyl triflates to form 3-alkylidene-2-coumaranones, EUR J ORG C, (5), 1999, pp. 1137-1141
o-Ethynylphenols react with vinyl triflates, in the presence of tetrakis(tr
iphenylphosphane)palladium(0) and under carbon monoxide, to form 3-alkylide
ne-2-coumaranones in good yield.
