Abstract

A new and expedient assembly of an interesting class of amido-substituted furo[4,5-c]coumarins has been successfully achieved through a one-pot sequential coupling and cyclization strategy starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin, aryl glyoxals and benzamide. All the reactions showed selectivity towards furo[4,5-c]coumarin, instead of the corresponding isoxazolo-substituted coumarins.

Key words

library construction - coumarins - glyoxals - benzamide

22 Synthesis of 2-Phenyl-3-benzamidofuro[4,5-c]coumarin (4a); Typical Procedure: A solution of phenylglyoxal monohydrate (1 mmol) and benzamide (1.1 mmol) in AcOH (10 mL) was stirred and heated at 70 °C for 30 min, then the 4-hydroxycoumarin (1 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux (110 °C) and the progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (EtOAc–hexane, 1:1). Upon completion, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice, and the precipitate was filtered off and thoroughly washed with water. The pure product 4a (85%) was obtained by recrystallization from EtOH as pale-yellow crystals; mp 216–218 °C.
