	abstract = {<p>An efficient annulation strategy involving the reaction of phenolic acetates with acrylates in the presence of [Rh-2(OAc)(4)] as catalyst and formic acid as reducing agent, leading to the high yield synthesis of coumarin derivatives, has been developed. The addition of NaOAc as a base increased the yield of the products. The reaction is quite Successful for both electron rich as well as electron deficient phenolic acetates, affording coumarins with excellent regioselectivity, and proceeds via, C-H bond activation proven by deuterium incorporation studies.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The rhodium catalyzed annulation of anilines with alkynic esters allowing for the high-yield synthesis of quinoline carboxylates with excellent regioselectivity is described. This unprecedented reaction employs either formic acid as the C1 source and reductant or copper(II) as the oxidant and is proposed to proceed via rhodacycle of in situ generated amide and enamine ester followed by ortho C-H activation of arylamines with rhodium as the catalyst.</p>},
