3,4-Dihydrocoumarins, considered to be valuable building blocks, have attracted considerable attention due to their various biological activities. Herein, we have documented an efficient and convenient double decarboxylation process for the synthesis of 4-substituted 3,4-dihydrocoumarin in moderate to excellent yields under

A facile and enantioselective approach toward 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin was developed. The method involved an amino-thiocarbamate catalyzed enantioselective bromocyclization of styrene-type carboxylic acids, yielding 3-bromo-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins with good yields and ee's. 3-Bromo-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins are versatile building blocks for various dihydroisocoumarin derivatives in which the
