Abstract

Abstract The reaction of different 7, 8-substituted coumarin 4-acetic acids with 7- diethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde in the presence of piperidine in methanol gives 1, 2- biscoumarinylethenes. These compounds undergo regiospecific Diels–Alder reactions at their electron-rich diene components C 3–C 4–C 10–C 9, with electron-deficient dienophiles. The feasibility of normal electron-demand Diels–Alder reactions could be ...
