Abstract The total synthesis of (E)-Suberenol (1) was carried out under the conditions of palladium-catalysed Heck condensation. Two other new coumarins,(E)-7-methoxy-6-(3- methyl-1, 3-butadienyl) coumarin [(E)-suberodiene](3) and (E)-7-methoxy-6-(3-methyl-1- butenyl) coumarin [(E)-suberenene](4) and cyclobisuberodiene (2) were synthesised from (E)-suberenol.
