A route to β-substitutedcyclohex-2-enones, 4-arylcoumarins, and biaryls has been developed. This approach involves a one-pot Cu0/Selectfluor-catalyzed dehydration–oxidation of tertiary cycloalcohols. Thus, by using 2 equiv. of Selectfluor at 25 °C, the dehydration–oxidation of tertiary cyclohexanols and oxabenzocyclohexanols gave β-substitutedcyclohex-2-enones and 4-arylcoumarins, respectively; whereas
An efficient protocol for the direct synthesis of 4-arylcoumarins via palladium-catalyzedoxidativeHeck coupling reaction of coumarins and arylboronicacids was developed. 4-Arylcoumarins were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, and the reaction also showed tolerance toward functional groups such as hydro, methoxy, diethylamino, nitro, and chloro groups.
4-Arylcoumarins can be prepared in good to high yields by reacting readily available methyl or butyl 3-(o-hydroxyaryl)acrylates with aryl iodides and bromides in an n-Bu4NOAc/n-Bu4NBr mixture at 100 °C in the presence of Pd(OAc)2.
