Abstract

Abstract Eight coumarins, which carry a terminal alkene tethered by a CH 2 XCH 2 group to their 4-position (X= CH 2, CMe 2, O, S, NBoc, NZ, NTs, NBn), were synthesized in overall yields of 51–80%. Starting materials for the syntheses were either commercially available 4- hydroxycoumarin or 4-formylcoumarin. The intramolecular [2+ 2] photocycloaddition of these coumarins gave diastereoselectively products with a tetracyclic 3, 3a, 4, 4a-tetrahydro-1H- ...
