Facile Preparation of 3,4-Benzocoumarins from 2-Arylbenzoic Acids with NCS and Nai
摘要:
Treatment of 2-arylbenzoic acids with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and NaI at 70 degrees C under fluorescent lighting condition gave the corresponding 3,4-benzocoumarins in good yields under transition-metal-free condition. It was found that the reactivity of NCS with NaI for the formation of 3,4-benzocoumarins from 2-arylbenzoic acids was as high as that with NIS. Thus, the formation of carboxyl radicals and their cyclization onto an aromatic ring from 2-arylbenzoic acids with much less expensive NCS and NaI, than NIS could be successfully carried out to form 3,4-benzocoumarins.
photocatalytic aerobicoxidative lactonization of arene C(sp2)–H bonds proceeds in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and tert-butyl nitrite (TBN). Under the optimized conditions, a range of 2-arylbenzoic acids is converted into the corresponding benzocoumarin derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. This method is characterized by its atom economy, mild reaction conditions, the

The first cerium photocatalyzed dehydrogenative lactonization of 2-arylbenzoic acids has been developed. This operationally simple protocol allows rapid access to synthetically useful coumarins on gram scale by employing CeCl3 as a photocatalyst and O2 as a terminal oxidant. Overall, this delivers an economical and environmentally amiable entry to diversely substituted coumarins, important structural
A practical, electrochemical method is developed for the direct dehydrogenative lactonization of C(sp2/sp3)–H bonds under external oxidant- and metal-free conditions, delivering diverse lactones, including coumarin derivatives with excellent regioselectivity. The scalable nature of this newly developed electrochemical process was demonstrated on a 40 g scale following an operationally simple protocol

photoactivated (−)-riboflavin (vitamin B2) to generate the heterocyclic core via photoinduced single electron transfer. Collectively, the inexpensive nature of the catalyst, ease of execution, and absence of external metal additives are a convincing endorsement for the incorporation of simple vitamins in contemporary catalysis.
