A series of stereoisomeric o-methoxy-substituted 2,3-diphenyl propenoic acids and their methyl esters have been synthesized. The E isomers were prepared by a modified Perkin condensation (substituted benzaldehyde, phenylacetic acid, Et3N/acetic anhydride). The difficult to access Z isomers were obtained conveniently in good yields when the appropriate coumarin derivatives were allowed to react with KOH and CH3I in DMSO.

The oxidation of eight (E)-α-phenylcinnamic acids with manganese(III) acetate in boiling acetic acid containing acetic anhydride gave 3-phenylcoumarins, 3-phenyl-1-oxaspirodeca-3,7,9-triene-2,6-diones, 2-phenylbenzofurans, 3-(acetoxymethyl)-2-phenylbenzofurans, 3-formyl-2-phenylbenzofuran, 2-acetoxy-2-phenyl-3(2H)-benzofuranones, (Z)-Α-acetoxystilbenes, 2-acetoxy-1,2-diphenylethanones, 5-acetoxy-4,5-diphenyl-2(5H)-furanones, and diphenylacetylene.Tha reaction pathways are discussed.
