<i>ortho</i>-Nitro-substituted diaryliodonium salts enabled regioselective cyclization of arylcarboxylic acids toward 3,4-naphthocoumarins.
Xu LiuLimin WangJianwei HanPublished in: Organic & biomolecular chemistry (2022)
We herein report an efficient regioselective cascade of arylation and cyclization of arylcarboxylic acids <i>via</i> Pd(II)-activation of both C-I and vicinal C-NO<sub>2</sub> bonds of <i>ortho</i>-nitro-substituted diaryliodonium salts.
