The alkylation of heterocyclic compounds is important for the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. In this paper, we present the development of a Pd/C-catalyzed alkylation of heterocyclic compounds using alcohols as the alkylating agents. T

Treatment of 3,3'-alkylidene-4,4'-dihydroxybis 1 with NaBH3CN in refluxing MeOH affords 3-alkyl-4-hydroxycoumarins 2 and 4-hydroxycoumarin (3; Scheme 1).The reaction may take place via hydride trapping of alkylidenechromandiones C formed from 1 in a retro-Michael reaction.Such a retro-Michael reaction of 1 might be biologically relevant.The presence of C during the reductive fragmentation 1 --> 2 is suggested by Diels-Alder and nucleophilic trapping of the alkylidenechromandiones C as well as from cross-over experiments with coumarins other than 3 (see Scheme 2).The reductive fragmentation of 1 allows the chemo- and regioselective synthesis of a variety of 3-alkyl-4-hydroxycoumarins 2 (see Table).
