Coumarins are ubiquitous in plant kingdom and have been used as antitumor, antifungals, anticoagulants, insecticides. Chalcones are also widespread in plant kingdom and have been known to possess diverse biological activities; antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and anti-inflammatory, etc. As they are considered as important natural products, numerous synthetic approaches have been reported up to the present. We devise a new selective method of preparing dihydrocoumarins and chalcones from aryl cinnamates by the selection of reagents. Dihydrocoumarin derivatives were prepared selectively by using intramolecular cyclization catalyzed by p-toluene sulfonic acid. Also, chalcones were prepared by Fries-rearrangement catalyzed by $TiCl_4$. This method can be used for preparing various coumarin & chalcone compounds.
香豆素广泛存在于植物王国中,并已被用作抗癌剂、抗真菌剂、抗凝血剂和杀虫剂。查尔酮也在植物王国中广泛分布,并且已知具有多种生物活性,包括抗菌、抗真菌、抗癌和抗炎等。由于它们被认为是重要的天然产物,迄今为止已经报道了许多合成方法。我们设计了一种新的选择性方法,通过选择试剂,从芳基肉桂酸制备二氢香豆素和查尔酮。通过使用对甲苯磺酸催化的分子内环化反应,选择性地制备了二氢香豆素衍生物。此外,还通过三氯化钛催化的Fries重排反应制备了查尔酮。这种方法可以用于制备各种香豆素和查尔酮化合物。
