3- coumarin, reaction with ketones

The reactions of 3-(phenylcarbamoyl)coumarin 170 with ketones in the presence of ammonium acetate in ethanol at 20 C or in the absence of a solvent at 170 C yielded benzo[c][2,7]naphthyridines 171 (1985MI1). 

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]. 

The conversion of c>-hydroxyaryl ketones la to chromones 2a and/or coumarins 3a with aliphatic acid anhydrides in the presence of the sodium or potassium salt of the corresponding acid and the reaction between lb and aromatic acid anhydrides and the salt of the corresponding acid to form flavones 2b (Allan-Robinson) is called the Kostanecki-Robinson (K-R) reaction. ... 

The Knoevenagel reaction between o-hydroxyaryl aldehydes and ketones and substituted acetonitriles affords high yields of 3-substituted coumarins in aqueous alkaline media <96H(43)1257>, whilst 4-hydroxycoumarins have been elaborated to pyrano [3,2-c]benzopyran-5-ones by reaction with aromatic aldehydes and malononitiile <96P148>. The imine (10) resulting from the complex reaction of o-hydroxyacetophenone with malononitrile undergoes a 1,5-tautomeric shift in solution <96JCS(P1)1067>. 

In the Diels-Alder reaction with inverse electron demand, the overlap of the LUMO of the 1-oxa-l,3-butadiene with the HOMO of the dienophile is dominant. Since the electron-withdrawing group at the oxabutadiene at the 3-position lowers its LUMO dramatically, the cycloaddition as well as the condensation usually take place at room or slightly elevated temperature. There is actually no restriction for the aldehydes. Thus, aromatic, heteroaromatic, saturated aliphatic and unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes may be used. For example, a-oxocarbocylic esters or 1,2-dike-tones for instance have been employed as ketones. Furthermore, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds cyclic and acyclic substances such as Meldmm s acid, barbituric acid and derivates, coumarins, any type of cycloalkane-1,3-dione, (1-ketoesters, and 1,3-diones as well as their phosphorus, nitrogen and sulfur analogues, can also be ap-... 

The acid-catalyzed cyclization of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propan-l-ones leads to chrom-2-enes. This reaction accounts for the formation of 2,4-diphenylchrom-2-ene from the reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide on coumarin. The organometallic reagent ring-opens the coumarin to the ketone which cyclizes to the chromene on boiling with acetic acid (Scheme 26) (63T839). In a similar manner, various benzocoumarins afford propanones which cyclize readily in acetic acid to the naphthopyran (70JCS(C)1758). 

Furan has been found to form oxetanes with a variety of carbonyl compounds, e.g., ketones,202-205 aldehydes,206 and ethyl cyanofor-mate.207 In most reactions the (2 + 2)-cycloaddition occurred specifically to give a 2,7 dioxabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene (175) rather than the 2,6-isomer (176). Only the addition of ethyl cyanoformate yielded mixtures of 175 and 176 (R = OEt and R2 = CN), in a ratio of 2 l.207 Two subsequent (2 + 2)-cycloadditions of benzophenone and furans have been reported to give two isomeric products, 177 and 178.205 Substituted furans yielded similar oxetanes.203 Benzo[ >]furans, furo-coumarins, and furochromones also proved to undergo (2 + 2)-cyclo-addition reactions with carbonyl compounds such as ketones, aldehydes, and quinones. Invariably one type of oxetane was formed (179).,37,u3 ,44 200-202 208,20, In the case of 2-methoxycarbonylbenzo[6)-furan, evidence has been provided that the oxetane was produced by addition of the excited triplet state of the olefinic reactant to the ground state of the ketone.208... 

Method B involves the preparation of precursor of 2-alkyl-l-benzo-pyrylium salts, as shown in Scheme ll.50 2-Alkylbenzopyrylium salts have been prepared by condensation of salicylaldehyde with appropriate ketone in acetic acid or by alkylation or reduction of coumarin or chromone derivatives. Reaction of 2-alkylbenzopyrylium salts with salicylaldehyde gives directly a spirodibenzopyran or 2-vinynologue benzopyrylium salt 17 which then can be converted into the spirodibenzopyran by piperidine or pyridine. 

The reaction of o-cyanobenzyllithium, generated by Te-Li exchange in the corresponding telluride, with aldehydes or ketones followed by acid, promotes lactonization of the obtained hydroxyderivatives, affording 3,4-dihydroiso-coumarins compounds. ... 

The high diastereoselective synthesis of multifunctionalized 3,4-dihydro-coumarins bearing a quaternary stereocenter was developed through tandem Michael additions of indole and its derivatives (1-methyl, 2-methyl, 4-methoxy, 5-methoxy, 5-bromo, 6-benzyloxy) to 3-nitrocoumarines (3-nitro-chromen-2-one, 6- and 7-methyl-3-nitro-chromen-2-one) followed by methyl vinyl ketone in a one-pot step. For the tandem Michael additions, after the first Michael reaction of indole (2) with 3-nitrocoumarine (51) catalyzed... 

Magnesium perchlorate has been used as a catalyst for the synthesis of benzothiazepines 153 from chalcones and 2-aminothiophenol <07JHC541> while derivatives 154 using 3-cinnamoyl coumarin as the a,p-unsaturated ketone have also been synthesised <07JHC145>. The reaction of 2-aminothiophenol with itaconic anhydride also gives the benzothiazepine system 155 <07JHC457> while dibenzothiazepines 157 were formed by denitrocyclisation of the sulfide 156 <07JHC1247>. 

In addition, some reactions on a-nitroso ketones and 3-mcrcapto coumarin, as well as the aminoalkylation of benzotriazole with aldehydes and arylamincs, can be interpreted only on the basis of aldehyde attack on the substrate as the first reaction step. 

Both the above mechanisms are proposed in the literature with Mannich bases of nitroalkanes the substitution is clearly favored by the steric hindrance of the amine moiety, thus suggesting path 1, - whereas NMR studies on the reaction of P-amino-ketones with hydroxy coumarins do not reveal the presence of vinyl ketone intermediates. lodomethylated phenolic Mannich bases arc also claimed to react according to path 2, although the formation as by-products of dimers and methylene-bis-derivatives accounts for the participation of methylenequinone intermediates in the process. "... 

Salicylaldehydes and some o-hydroxyaryl ketones react with Meldrum s acid to give coumarin-3-carboxylic acids <03TL1755>. 3-Cyanocoumarins, and thus the 3-carboxylic acids, are available in high yield from a Knoevenagel reaction between salicylaldehydes and malononitrile in water <0382331>. 3-Chlorocoumarins result from the cathodic reduction of trichloroacetyl esters of o-hydroxyacetophenones <03T9161>. 

In the presence of acetic acid and pyridine, 5-phenyl- or 5- eri-butyl-3-methylthio-l,2-dithiolium ions have been reacted with cyanoacetone to give, in the usual way, an a-(l,2-dithiol-3-ylidene) ketone. A similar reaction has been observed with 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one and with 4-hydroxy-coumarin (Eq. 23). In the same way, 4-hydroxy-6-methylchromene-2-thione and 3-methylthio-5-phenyl-l,2-dithiolium cation gave the fused trithiapentalene 59. ... 

Diels-Alder-based strategy (Scheme 18).90 An analogous route has also been explored by Miller et a/.91 who obtained the acetoxy-aldehyde (152) from the Diels-Alder reaction of 3-methylbuta-l,3-dienyl acetate with 2-methylprop-2-enal. Cyclization of (152) with sodium hydride gave the coumarin derivative (153). Unfortunately, cyclization of the corresponding methyl ketone (154) yielded the chromanone derivative (155) and not the methyl analogue of (153). 

A basic ionic liquid, l-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hydroxide, [bmImjOH, was found to catalyze the Knoevenagel condensation of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones with active methylene compounds elSciently in the absence of any organic solvent (Scheme 5.58). Coumarins have been obtained in one step from the reaction of o-hydroxy aldehydes following this procedure. ... 

Boehm [363] has described for the first time the synthesis of oxygen-bridged tetrahydropyridones by a three-component condensation among coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, ketones, and primary amines. A solid-phase version of this reaction has recently been reported [364]. 1,3-Propylenediamine was immobilized onto chloro-trityl polystyrene resin (loading of 0.65 mmol g ). The supported amine (470) was then treated with coumarin-3-carboxylic acid and 8 different ketones in NMP/THF... 

The moisture- and air-stable ionic liquids, l-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetra-lluoroborate [bmim]BF and l-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [bmim]PFg, were used as green recyclable alternatives to volatile organic solvents for the ethylenediaimnonium diacetate-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation between aldehydes or ketones with active methylene compounds. As described by Su et al. [57], the ionic hquids containing a catalyst were recycled several times without decrease in yields and reaction rates. In the case of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, the reactions led to the formation of 3-substituted coumarin derivatives in high yields of up to 95% (Scheme 17.11). When ethyl cyanoacetate was used, 2-imino-27f-l-benzopyran-3-carboxyhc acid ethyl ester was formed. 

Condensations of aryiacetic acids, arylacetates and arylacetonitriles with aromatic aldehydes and ketones proceed under standard Knoevenagel conditions, providing access to stilbenes or substituted stil-benes. - Thus 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-nitrophenylacetic acid react in the presence of different amines to give (130), (131) and (132). The ratio of the products varies greatly with the amine used. (131) and (132) could easily be transformed into (130) in high yield. Reaction of arylacetates with o-hydroxybenzaldehydes yields the corresponding coumarins. The condensation of 2-hydroxy-4-meth-oxybenzaldehyde (133) with pyridylacetates like (134) yields 7-methoxy-3-pyridylcoumarins like (135) (Scheme 20).
