Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Coumarin and flavone derivatives are highly valuable molecules in drug discovery. Here, two new regioselective cross-dehydrogenation couplings of coumarins and flavones with different ethers via C(sp3)-H functionalization processes were developed, generating new ether-substituted derivatives not previously reported. These reactions proceeded well via radical mechanisms and provided the corresponding products in good yields.
