title: Synthesis of dihydrofurocoumarins via palladium-catalyzed annulation of 1,3-dienes by o-iodoacetoxycoumarins.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A variety of biologically interesting dihydrofurocoumarins have been synthesized in high yields by the palladium-catalyzed annulation of 1,3-dienes by o-iodoacetoxycoumarins. This reaction is very general and regioselective, and a wide variety of terminal, cyclic, and internal 1,3-dienes can be utilized.
