The first direct alkynylation of 2-vinylphenols was developed. The rationally optimized hypervalent iodine reagent TIPS-EBX in combination with [(CpRhCl2)2] as a C-H-activating transition metal catalyst enables the construction of a variety of highly substituted 1,3-enynes in high yields of up to 98 %. This novel C-H activation method shows excellent chemoselectivity and exclusive (Z)-stereoselectivity, and it is also remarkably mild and tolerates a variety of functional groups. Furthermore, synthetic modifications of the resulting 1,3-enynes were demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first example for an OH-directed C-H alkynylation with hypervalent iodine reagents.

Herein we disclose the assembly of benzoxepines and coumarins from 2-alkenylphenol precursors using [Cp*RhCl2]2 as the precatalyst and alkynes or carbon monoxide as reacting partners. The preparation of benzoxepines and coumarins can be scaled up to 33 mmol using low catalyst loadings.

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative cyclocarbonylation of 2-vinylphenols constitutes a simple, direct method for the synthesis of coumarins. The reaction conditions, employing low pressures of CO, and air or 1,4- benzoquinone as the oxidant, are attractive in terms of environmental considerations and operational simplicity. Coumarins with a variety of functional groups were prepared in yields up to 85%.
