Abstract
An efficient route for the coupling of maleimides with chromones at the C5-position has been developed under Ru(II) catalysis. It could provide 1,4-addition products and oxidative Heck-type products by switching additives. Benzoic acid led to the formation of 1,4-addition products under solvent-free conditions, and silver acetate was promoted to the generation of oxidative Heck-type products. Various maleimides and chromones were suitable for this transformation, affording the desired products with good to excellent yields in a short reaction time. To understand the mechanism of this reaction, deuteration studies and control experiments have been performed.
