Cross-coupling reactions of differently substituted 4-chlorocoumarins were studied under palladium catalysis using triarylbismuths as threefold arylating reagents. The high reactivity of 4-chlorocoumarins was demonstrated delivering mono- and bis-arylation products in a chemo-selective manner. The reaction conditions employed are simple, robust and the threefold coupling reactivity of triarylbismuth reagents was witnessed with good to high yields in 2-4 h conditions. The utility of the methodology was explored in the synthesis of a few natural occurring neoflavones (3.27-3.30). In addition, the 4-arylcoumarin 3.1 product is a useful precursor for the preparation of (R)-tolterodine.

Free ortho-hydroxy cinnamate ester derivatives are evaluated in the synthesis of structurally diverse 4-aryl-coumarins via a tandem Heck-Matsuda cyclization reaction. Free phenolic groups were considered incompatible with such a reaction, which usually provide the corresponding diazo dyes. A concise and scalable route employing a ligand-free, Pd-catalyzed Heck-Matsuda arylation under aerobic conditions for the preparation of (R)-Tolterodine in high overall yield and ee is also presented.
