A copper-catalyzed intramolecular cross dehydrogenative C-O coupling reaction of 2′-hydroxyl-3-arylcoumarins was developed. This protocol provided a facile and efficient strategy for the construction of natural coumestans and derivatives in moderate to high yields. This transformation exhibited good functional group compatibility and was amenable to substrates with free phenolic hydroxyl groups.

A simple and efficient two step synthesis of coumestans is described. The key reaction in the synthesis is the use of easily available Cu(OAc)2 for C[sbnd]H functionalization of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)coumarin to give coumestan ring system via formal oxidative cyclization. This approach provided a short protective group free route to naturally occurring coumestrol and 4′-O-methylcoumestrol.
