A highly efficient, single‐step, metal‐free synthetic approach to the synthesis of coumarin‐3‐carboxamides has been developed. The protocol employs tert ‐butyl peroxybenzoate as a radical initiator to achieve the regioselective carboxamidation of coumarins at C‐3 in good‐to‐moderate yields. The established reaction protocol offers a wide substrate scope as it allows the use of both formamides as well as aldehydes as coupling partners with excellent regioselectivity. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations illustrate that the reaction proceeds by a free‐radical pathway.
