Inexpensive copper(II) acetate effectively catalyzes cross‐coupling of electron‐deficient as well as electron‐rich arylboronic acids with 4‐methylsulfanyl‐2‐alkylamino‐3‐nitro‐4 H ‐chromenes under near neutral conditions at room temp. to furnish a range of 4‐aryl‐4 H ‐chromenes. This new strategy enabled substitution of the C(4)SMe group present on a sp 3 hybridized carbon of the 4 H ‐chromenes with aryl/heteroaryl groups. Mechanistic probing revealed that the Cu I –Cu III cycle is involved in catalysis. One‐pot sequential substitution of C(4)SMe followed by C(6)Br with aryl groups has been achieved through Cu(OAc) 2 and Pd 2 (dba) 3 (Suzuki coupling) catalysis.
