Abstract

An unprecedented three-component C(sp(3))-H functionalization of 2-alkylazaarenes with aryl aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarins was realized, providing azaarene-substituted 3-benzyl-4-hydroxycoumarins in good to excellent yields. These new target compounds displayed broad-spectrum antibacterial activities, providing a new type of antibacterial skeleton.

Keywords: 2-alkylazaarenes; 3-benzyl-4-hydroxycoumarins; 4-hydroxycoumarins; C(sp3)−H functionalization; aryl aldehydes; biological activities; three-component.
