Abstract

On treatment with nucleophilic reagents, each of the chlorine atoms in 3, 4- dichlorocoumarins is replaced, that in the 4-position considerably more easily than that in the 3-positi0n.~ Because of this behavior, the synthesis of compounds containing an additional heterocyclic ring fused to the 3, 4-positions of the coumarin nucleus seemed possible. This objective was of interest because compounds having physiological activity ...
