Zn(II)-Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of Coumarins from Ynamides and Salicylaldehydes

A highly efficient and straightforward synthesis of diversely substituted coumarins from ynamides and salicylaldehydes in the presence of Zn(II) catalyst has been developed. The sulfonamide moiety of ynamides was successfully recycled in this process, serving as an effective traceless directing group for high regioselectivity in the bond-forming event. The advantages of this protocol are good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, simple and high-yielding reaction, recovery/reuse of the sulfonamides, low catalyst loading of inexpensive catalyst, and, by these merits, a more cost-effective and greener process.

Visible-light-driven copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cascade cyclization of N-tosylhydrazones and terminal alkynes: Regioselective synthesis of 3-arylcoumarins

We present the first example of sustainable, intuitive, highly regioselective, visible-light-driven copper catalyzed aerobic oxidative cascade cyclization of N-tosylhydrazones with terminal alkynes for the preparation of 3-arylcoumarins at room temperature. This operationally simple methodology has been successfully applied to a wide range of N-tosylhydrazones and alkynes (49 examples), and proceeds well to afford biologically active compounds, such as monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) inhibitor, in satisfactory yields under mild conditions. Furthermore, mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via a copper(ii)-superoxo or -peroxo complex mediated oxidative annulation of terminal alkynes, as evidenced by 18O2 isotopic-labelling experiments.

Pd-catalysed carbonylative annulation of salicylaldehydes with benzyl chlorides using N-formylsaccharin as a CO surrogate

A convenient and highly efficient Pd-catalysed carbonylative annulation of salicylaldehydes with benzyl chlorides to afford the corresponding 3-arylcoumarins in good to excellent yields has been developed. Importantly, the protocol utilizes a commercially available, low cost, solid and easy to handle N-formylsaccharin as an alternative to the highly toxic CO gas.

Ultrasound-Assisted Solvent-Free Parallel Synthesis of 3-Arylcoumarins Using N-Acylbenzotriazoles

An ultrasound-assisted one-pot acylation/cyclization reaction between N-acylbenzotriazoles and 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 3-arylcoumarins. Using ultrasound not only allows rapid and clean conversion but also simplifies experimental setup and parallel workup leading to rapid generation of 3-arylcoumarin libraries under mild, solvent-free, and chromatography-free conditions.

Insight into the functional and structural properties of 3-arylcoumarin as an interesting scaffold in monoamine oxidase B inhibition

The design, synthesis, pharmacological evaluation, and theoretical studies of a new series of halogenated 3-arylcoumarins were carried out with the aim of finding new structural and biological features. This series displays several alkyl, hydroxy, halogen, and/or alkoxy groups in both benzene rings of the 3-arylcoumarin scaffold. Most of the compounds studied show high affinity and selectivity for the human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) isoenzyme, with IC 50 values in the low nanomolar and picomolar range. Most of the evaluated compounds display higher MAO-B inhibitory activity and selectivity than selegiline (the reference compound). Coumarin 12 (3-(3-bromophenyl)-6- methylcoumarin) is the most active compound (IC50=134 pM), being 140-fold more active than selegiline and showing the highest specificity for hMAO-B. To better understand the structure-activity relationships, docking experiments were carried out on human monoamine oxidase (A and B) structures. Finally, the prediction of passive blood-brain partitioning, based on in silico derived physicochemical descriptors, was performed. Coumarins crossing the barrier: The design and synthesis of a new series of halogenated 3-arylcoumarins are described. Monoamine oxidase A and B in vitro inhibition studies, in silico prediction of passive blood-brain partitioning, and docking calculations showed most of the 3-arylcoumarin compounds to be potent and selective.

Highly regioselective α-arylation of coumarins via palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/desulfitative coupling

A novel regioselective α-arylation of coumarins with readily available arenesulfonyl chlorides and sodium arenesulfinates via palladium-catalyzed direct C-H functionalizations under mild reaction conditions is described. This protocol presents an unexpected and highly regio-controlled arylation of coumarins at C-3 to construct interesting 3-arylcoumarins with fascinating biological and fluorescent properties. The regioselectivity observed is in sharp contrast with that expected for the Heck reactions. Copyright

A general palladium-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of chromenones from salicylic aldehydes and benzyl chlorides

Cute CO! An interesting and straightforward procedure for the carbonylative synthesis of chromenones from readily available salicylic aldehydes and benzyl chlorides has been developed (see scheme; DPPP=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino) propane). In the presence of a palladium catalyst, various coumarins were produced in good to excellent yields. Copyright

Synthesis of 3-arylcoumarins through N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed condensation and annulation of 2-chloro-2-arylacetaldehydes with salicylaldehydes

The condensation reaction of 2-chloro-2-arylacetaldehyde with salicylaldehyde catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) leading to 3-arylcoumarin was studied. A number of 3-arylcoumarin derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields via this umpolung reaction. This reaction is facile and experimentally simple and mild.

Palladium catalyzed dehydrogenative arylation of coumarins: An unexpected switch in regioselectivity

A new regioselective α-arylation of coumarins with unactivated simple arenes via a palladium-catalyzed twofold C-H functionalization is devised. This method offers an attractive new approach to synthesis of a wide variety of 3-arylcoumarins from readily accessible starting materials. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

Deracemization of α-aryl hydrocoumarins via catalytic asymmetric protonation of ketene dithioacetals

An unprecedented catalytic asymmetric protonation of ketene dithioacetals is described. Various racemic α-aryl hydrocoumarin derivatives are transformed into enantioenriched dithioacetal-protected hydrocoumarins in the presence of a chiral Br?nsted acid catalyst. A newly developed phosphoric acid, featuring the 3,5-bis(pentafluorothio)phenyl (3,5-(SF5) 2C6H3) substituent, is introduced. The obtained products can be easily converted into either hydrocoumarins or the corresponding chromans via simple hydrolysis or hydrogenation, respectively.
