title: Pd-Catalyzed regioselective hydroesterification of 2-allylphenols to seven-membered lactones without external CO gas.
abstract: Effective Pd-catalyzed regioselective hydroesterification of 2-allylphenols with phenyl formate is described. A variety of seven-membered lactones can be obtained in good yields under mild conditions without the use of toxic CO gas.
