    No full text
    Coumarins are an important class of natural heterocyclic compounds that have attracted considerable synthetic and pharmacological interest due to their various biological activities. This review emphasizes on the synthetic methods for the preparation of dialkyl 2-oxo-2H-1-benzo- pyran-3-phosphonates and alkyl 1,2-benzoxaphosphorin-3-carboxylates. Their chemical properties as acceptors in conjugate addition reactions, [2+2] and [3+2] cycloaddition reactions are discussed

    A new method for faster and simple preparation of 3,3′,4,4′-tetrahydro-3,3′-disubstituted-4,4′-biscoumarins with participation of an organozinc reagent is reported. The reaction is promoted by ultrasound irradiation and it offers a simple experimental setup and excellent reproducibility of the results. Moreover, homodimers were isolated in yields of 45⁻92%. The dimerization conditions are applicable to coumarins with electron-withdrawing groups at third position

    Regio- and Stereoselective [2+2] Photodimerization of 3-Substituted 2-Alkoxy-2-oxo-2H-1,2-benzoxaphosphorines

    Diethyl 1,2-benzoxaphosphorine-3-carboxylates 5 undergo a regio- and stereoselective [2+2] photodimerization reaction in methanol solution under the action of sunlight, giving in all cases the corresponding anti head-to-tail dimers 6 and 7. Concerning the stereogenic P atom, the photodimerization is also stereoselective, and the centrosymmetric stereoisomer 6 predominates over the non symmetric P-epimer 7

    A New and Efficient Method for the Synthesis of 3,4-Disubstituted Pyrrolidine-2,5-diones
