Halosubstituted isocoumarins (II) are readily obtained by the halolactonisation reaction of 2-alkynylbenzoic acids with N-halosuccinimides.
Organomercury Mediated Synthesis of Isocoumarins
Nagarajan, A.,Balasubramanian, Tiruvenkat R.
, p. 917 - 919 (2007/10/02)
A facile and convenient synthesis of isocoumarins via an organomercurial route is reported.The synthesis involves reaction of methyl 2-alkynbenzoates with mercuric acetate to give the corresponding isocoumarin mercurials which serve as intermediates to afford the appropriate isocoumarins having substituents as Cl,I,Br,COCH3 etc.
