title: Synthesis of isocoumarin derivatives via the copper-catalyzed tandem sequential cyclization of 2-halo-N-phenyl benzamides and acyclic 1,3-diketones.
abstract: A facile and rapid synthesis of isocoumarin derivatives using a copper-catalyzed tandem C-C/C-O coupling strategy from readily available substrates is described. The reactions of a wide range of 2-iodo-N-phenyl benzamides and acyclic diketones as starting materials were investigated.
