Novel short-step synthesis of functionalized γ-phenyl-β-hydroxybutenoates and their cyclization to 4-hydroxycoumarins via the N-hydroxybenzotriazole methodology
Abstract A novel method for the synthesis of functionalized 3-substituted 4- hydroxycoumarins is reported. C-Acylation compounds were derived from the reaction of the N-hydroxybenzotriazole ester of the functionalized acetyl salicylic acids and a variety of active methylene compounds and cyclized to the title compounds. The synthesis is simple and the compounds are produced in yields varying from 39 to 80%. The structure of the ...
