Cycloaddition of COj with the dimethyl-substituted methylenecyclopropane 75 proceeds smoothly above 100 °C under pressure, yielding the five-membered ring lactone 76. The regiocheraistry of this reaction is different from that of above-mentioned diphenyl-substituted methylenecyclopropanes 66 and 67[61], This allylic lactone 76 is another source of trimethylenemethane when it is treated with Pd(0) catalyst coordinated by dppe in refluxing toluene to generate 77, and its reaction with aldehydes or ketones affords the 3-methylenetetrahy-drofuran derivative 78 as expected for this intermediate. Also, the lactone 76 reacts with a, /3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The reaction of coumarin (79) with 76 to give the chroman-2-one derivative 80 is an example[62]. 

C) Preparation of 6-Allyl-7-Hydroxy-4,8-Dimethylcoumarin 7-Allyloxy-4,8-dimethyl-coumarin (195.0 g, 0.84 mol) was heated (oil bath) to 215 4°C (reaction mixture temperature) for 3 hours and was then poured into absolute alcohol (ca 1.5 liters). Activated carbon (Norite) (19.5 g) was added, and the solution was heated to boiling, filtered, and diluted with excess water (ca 12 liters). The product was collected by filtration and partially dried at 70°C for 6 hours. 6-Allyl-7-hydroxy-4,8-dimethylcoumarin was obtained as pale yellow microcrystalline prisms, MP 166° to 168°C, by two recrystallizations from aqueous ethanol of a portion of the partially dried solid. The remaining partially dried solid was used in the next step. 

Although the most recent modifications of the Prelog condensation of 1,3-dike-tones and 1,3,5-triketones, for example that of acetylacetone with dimethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate in the presence of NaOH in H2O, afford substituted benzenes such as 1486 in up to 94% yield (Scheme 9.22) and coumarins [40], these condensations of highly substituted polyketones with the corresponding aromatic systems might also be effected in the presence of HMDS 2/TCS 14 or TMSOTf...

With instruments based on fluorescence up-conversion (see Chapter 11) that offer the best time resolution (about 100 fs), such a fast inertial component was indeed detected in the fluorescence decayc,d). Using coumarin 153 as a solute (whose dipole moment increases from 6.5 to 15 D upon excitation), the inertial times of acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and benzonitrile were found to be 0.13, 0.20, 0.17 and 0.41 ps, respectively. ...

Of the many substituted and functionalized alkenes that have been combined with diazo dipoles to give A -pyrazolines or products derived from them (i.e., A -pyrazolines, pyrazoles, cyclopropanes), only a selection will be mentioned. These include ot-alkylidene-cycloalkanones (62), -flavanones, -thioflavanones, -chroma-nones, and thiochromanones (63,64) a-arylidene-indanones and -indolones (65) diarylideneacetones (66) l-benzopyran-2(77)-ones (coumarins) (67,68) 4-nitro-1,2-oxazoles (69) 2-alkylidene-2-cyanoacetates (70) dimethyl 2,3-dicyanofuma-rate (71) tetracyanoethylene (72) tetraethyl ethylenetetracarboxylate (72) 1,4-quinones (35,73-75) 2-X-l,l,l-trifluoro-2-propene [X = Br, (76), SPh, SOPh, S02Ph (77)] nitroalkenes (78) including sugar nitroalkenes (79) 1-diethoxyphos-phoryl-1-alkenyl-sulfoxides (80) methyl 2-(acetylamino)cinnamate and -acrylate... 

The Pechmann and Knoevenagel reactions have been widely used to synthesise coumarins and developments in both have been reported. Activated phenols react rapidly with ethyl acetoacetate, propenoic acid and propynoic acid under microwave irradiation using cation-exchange resins as catalyst <99SL608>. Similarly, salicylaldehydes are converted into coumarin-3-carboxylic acids when the reaction with malonic acid is catalysed by the montmorillonite KSF <99JOC1033>. In both cases the use of a solid catalyst has environmentally friendly benefits. Methyl 3-(3-coumarinyl)propenoate 44, prepared from dimethyl glutaconate and salicylaldehyde, is a stable electron deficient diene which reacts with enamines to form benzo[c]coumarins. An inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction is followed by elimination of a secondary amine and aromatisation (Scheme 26) <99SL477>. 

The use of triethyl orthobut-2-ynoate, MeC=CC(OEt)3, yields 4-methylcoumarins, whilst with dimethyl butynedioate, resorcinol affords methyl coumarin-4-carboxylate in a reaction catalyzed by zinc chloride (69MI22400). The potential elaboration of this approach to coumarins is quite apparent. 

Carbon-13 shift of common non-aromatic heterocycles with endo- and exocyclic double bonds are reviewed in Table 4.66 [416-432], - Deshieldings of / -carbons induced by carbonyl groups in heterocyclic a, /1-enones due to (—)-M electron withdrawal (e.g. 2-pyrones, coumarins) and shieldings of [ carbons in cyclic enol ethers arising from (+ )-M electron release (e.g. 2,3-dihydrofuran and oxepine derivatives in Table 4.66) fully correspond to the effects described for the open-chain analogs. Outstandingly large shift values are observed for the lithiated carbon in cyclic a-lithium enol ethers (Table 4.66). In terms of its a and / carbon-13 shifts, 2,7-dimethyloxepine is also a typical enol ether [420], Further, 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyrone [421] and flavone [422] display similiar shift values for the a, /1-enone substructure. 

Unlike coumarin, chromone (206) undergoes efficient unsensitized photoaddition to tetramethylethylene, cyclopentene, ketene dimethyl acetal, and but-2-yne.180 The major product of such an addition to tetramethylene is the cis-fused cyclobutane derivative (207) the formation of the two minor products (208 and 209) is easily rationalized. Added benzophenone has no visible effect on this cycloaddition, which is therefore believed to involve the attack of triplet chromone on the ground-state alkene. Photoaddition to furo-chromones has also been studied,179 and the photosensitized cyclo-... 

The necessary amino aldehydes are accessible from widely available amino acids and amino alcohols. In addition to N,N-dimethyl barbituric acid shown in Figure 5.3, other 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds can be employed, such as cydohexane-1,3-diones or coumarines (Figure 5.5).

Thiocoumarin (127) underwent [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition reactions in better yields than 126. In contrast to coumarin, cis- and trans-fused products are being found, however, for example, in the reaction with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, possibly because the thiopyran ring is more flexible than the pyran ring due to the longer C—S bonds. HTproduct is favored with electron donor-substituted olefins [121]. Electron acceptor substitution in 3-position, as in 3-cyano-l-thiocoumarin (128), leads to an improved performance in [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition reactions [122].
