TY - JOUR A1 - Schultze, Christiane A1 - Schmidt, Bernd T1 - Ring-closing-metathesis-based synthesis of annellated coumarins from 8-allylcoumarins JF - Beilstein journal of organic chemistry N2 - 8-Allylcoumarins are conveniently accessible through a microwave-promoted tandem Claisen rearrangement/Wittig olefination/cyclization sequence. They serve as a versatile platform for the annellation of five- to seven-membered rings using ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM). Furano-, pyrano-, oxepino- and azepinocoumarins were synthesized from the same set of precursors using Ru-catalyzed double bond isomerizations and RCM in a defined order. One class of products, pyrano[2,3-f]chromene-2,8-diones, were inaccessible through direct RCM of an acrylate, but became available from the analogous allyl ether via an assisted tandem catalytic RCM/allylic oxidation sequence.

The products are multiply substituted 6- or 8-allylated or prenylated coumarins (2H-chromen-2-ones).
