A novel and efficient protocol for the regioselective synthesis of 3-styrylcoumarins from readily available cinnamic acids and coumarins is presented. The reaction proceeds via a decarboxylative cross-coupling mediated by a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2, with Ag2CO3 as an oxidant, and with 1,10-phenanthroline as a ligand. A plausible reaction mechanism for this process is depicted, and the resulting 3-styrylcoumarins show excellent fluorescence quantum yields.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a method using TMSOTf to create spiroketal derivatives through hydroalkoxylation and cycloaddition reactions involving hydroxy cyclopropenes and aldehydes.
- This process generates a donor-acceptor cyclopropane intermediate, allowing for the efficient synthesis of [5.5]- and [6.5]-spiroketals.
- The resulting spirocyclic compounds can be further modified to produce complex polycyclic heterocycles through metal halogen exchange and copper-catalyzed reactions, with a decarboxylation step that introduces a fourth chiral center.

Enamides have emerged as robust alternatives for enamines, exhibiting versatile reactivity for further synthetic modifications, including nucleophilic addition, cycloaddition, and asymmetric hydrogenation. While transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkenyl (pseudo)halides with amides has been widely employed to construct this valuable scaffold, it suffers from some limitations, such as the need for transition-metal catalysts and the preparative synthesis of alkenyl (pseudo)halides. In this study, we report a mild and convenient stereoretentive decarboxylative amidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with easily procurable 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones, providing a practical synthetic route to enamides.

A practical nickel-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of -hydroxyphthalimide esters with 1,4-diiodobenzene analogues has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, a series of structurally interesting 1,4-dialkylbenzene analogues have been accessed with good functional group tolerance, which are versatile precursors for organic synthesis and a kind of important unit for bioactive molecules, polymers, and other materials. The synthetic application of this methodology was demonstrated by the synthesis of 3-6-dialkylcarbazole derivatives.

An easily accessible Cu(I)-catalyzed regioselective oxidative C-N/C-O cross-coupling organic transformation has been disclosed for the syntheses of variably functionalized triazines and N-benzoylpyrrolidin-2-ones through the involvement of C(sp)-H bond functionalization, which is unknown in the literature. This general synthetic method is extended for decarboxylative oxidation of amino acids to install carbonyl functionality. It facilitates the formation of 2-3 new bonds through the cross-coupling strategy involving benzimidates, amino acids, and in situ-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the aerial O as the sole oxidant.

An unprecedented oxidative decarboxylative chemical domain of α,β-unsaturated acids and amines for C-N cross-coupled α-ketoamidation is disclosed. Molecular oxygen as a source oxygen in amide and water oxygen in the ketone segment furnished a green and sustainable synthesis of α-ketoamide from feedstock acids and amines. Mechanistically, photocatalyst travels with reductive quenching cycle, whereas pallado-cycle proceeded through oxidative C-N bond formation.
