Triple C[BOND]H functionalization: Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of benzofurans and coumarins by reacting phenols and unactivated olefins is described. The reaction comprises sequential C[BOND]H functionalization and shows diverse functional group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic studies shed light into the possible mechanisms.
