A variety of functionalized coumarins were synthesized from substituted phenylacrylic acids via PIDA/I2-mediated and irradiation-promoted oxidative carbon-oxygen bond formation. Our studies show that the oxygen in the pendant carboxylic acid group cyclizes favorably to the aryl ring that is cis to it. The main advantages of this method include good functional group tolerance and the transition-metal-free characteristic. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

4-Arylcoumarins are synthesized in very good yields through solvent-free microwave irradiation of 2-hydroxybenzophenones and alkyl malonate in the presence of DBU. The onepot synthesis is carried out with Knoevenagel condensation, intramolecular lactonization, and decarboxylation reactions. The method can be applied to a broad scope of neoflavonoids.

The present invention is directed to substituted coumarins and quinolines and analogs thereof, represented by the general Formula I: wherein A, B, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. The present invention also relates to the discovery that compounds having Formula I are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis of this invention can be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.
