(5.0 mL) was added to activated g-Al2O3 (1.10 g, 10 mmole) in a
round bottom flask. After stirring for 30 min, removing the meth-
anol under reduced pressure and adding P2O5 (about 0.5 g), the re-
sultant solution was heated in an oil-bath at 120 °C. The progress
of the reaction was monitored using TLC analysis. Once 3a had
disappeared from the TLC plate, the mixture was allowed to cool
to ambient temperature, filtered through a silica gel (5.0 g) and
washed by ethanol (20 mL). It was then separated using a silica
gel column with hexane-EtOAc (9:1) as an eluent. 3-(6’-Methyl-
benzothizaolyl)coumarin (5ca), coumarin and 2-aminothiophe-
nol were obtained in sequence from the column. Compound 5ca:
a yellowish-green solid, 1H NMR d 2.53 (3H, s), 7.34-7.41 (2H,
m), 7.45 (1H, d, J = 8.4 Hz), 7.64 (1H, td, J = 8.0, 1.6 Hz), 7.73
(1H, dd, J = 8.4, 1.6 Hz), 7.74 (1H, s), 7.97 (1H, d, J = 8.4 Hz),
9.18 (1H, s); MS m/z (%) 293 (M+., 100), 265 (38), 236 (7); Calcd
for C17H11NO2S: C, 69.61; H, 3.78; N, 4.77. Found: C, 69.58; H,
3.77; N. 4.81.
