Abstract

A protocol for a tandem copper-catalyzed intermolecular decarboxylation cross-coupling cascade between o-bromobenzoic acids and proline or piperic acid has been disclosed. The developed protocol allows access to a variety of synthetically useful fused benzoxazinones scaffolds with high efficiency and good functional group compatibility. A mechanistically sequential approach for the decarboxylation and dehydration coupling process was presented.
