Metal-catalyzed C-H activation/tandem reactions of aromatic acids and functionalized alkenes is profound for constructing phthalide skeleton. However, most of these reactions employ stoichiometric amounts of metal additives and metal oxidants/toxic organic solvents. Herein, a sequential cobalt/rhodium-catalyzed tandem cyclization of aromatic aldehydes and acrylates for preparing 3-substituted phthalides in one pot has been described. This protocol features the use of water as a sustainable solvent and oxygen as the singular oxidant free of any additives. The use of aromatic aldehydes instead of aromatic acids as starting materials renders this route high atom economy, and the formation of water as a sole byproduct makes this process practical and environmentally benign.
