Abstract

A tertiary phosphine-mediated [3+2] cyclization reaction of ynones with fluorinated coumarin derivatives has been developed to give a series of coumarin-based CF₃-containing furanones in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions. Preliminary investigation into their antitumor activities is also presented.

Key words

phosphine - cyclization - coumarin - furanone

14 General Synthetic Method for Compound 3a–p To a solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetaldehyde coumarin 1 (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and ynone 2 (0.30 mmol, 1.5 equiv) in TFE (2 mL) was added PPh₂Et (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), followed by the addition of PhCOOH (0.06 mmol, 0.3 equiv). The resulting mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at 60 °C for 2–4 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/EtOAc = 20:1 to 3:1) to afford cyclization adduct 3.
