regioselective synthesis of 3-trifluoromethylated coumarins. The reaction was performed by using the Togni reagent as the CF3 source under mild conditions and showed good functional- group tolerance. The scope of this copper-mediated method was further expanded to the synthesis of 3-trifluoromethylated carbostyrils starting from ortho-aminocinnamic derivatives. Interestingly, a sequential one-pot synthesis of
