Copper‐Free Sonogashira Coupling of Acid Chlorides with Terminal Alkynes in the Presence of a Reusable Palladium Catalyst: An Improved Synthesis of 3‐Iodochromenones (=3‐Iodo‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ones)

Pd/C is used as an efficient catalyst for the copper-free Sonogashira coupling of acid chlorides and terminal alkynes to afford ynones in high yields (Tables 1 and 3). Cyclization of (2-methoxyaryl)-substituted ynones induced by I2/ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (CAN) at room temperature gave 3-iodochromenones (=3-iodo-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones) in excellent yield (Table 4).
