A new synthetic methodology for the catalytic C–H functionalisation of 2-pyrones is described in this Dalton Transactions ‘Hot Article’. Insight into the reaction mechanism which provides rapid and efficient entry into fused furanopyrone products, regioselectively, is given by the team from the University of York in the UK.
