“…The synthesis of substituted coumarins is still dominated by classical methods, such as the Knoevenagel, Perkin, and Pechmann reactions [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], which although powerful and proven, have limited scope in terms of functional group compatibility. Recent studies have centered on the use of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling C–C bond formation leading to the 3-, 4- and 6-substituted coumarins [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]; thus the number of Pd-catalyzed approaches for obtaining coumarins is constantly growing [ 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”
