Reaktionsschritte

Rearrangement of CAMC was accomplished in high yield by refluxing the allyl ether from Step 2 (143.5 gm; 0.55 mole) in a mixture of p-diisopropylbenzene (Aldrich, 1000 ml) and butyric anhydride (96 ml, 92.8 gm; 0.59 mol, Aldrich) under argon for 18 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with chloroform, washed with water and then saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried (MgSO4) then evaporated under reduced pressure. Following recrystallization from ethanol, 79.9 grams of mixed 6 and 8-(β-chloroallyl)-7-butyroxy-4-methylcoumarin (BCAMC,15) were obtained. HPLC analysis (Beckman; C18-ODS reverse phase column, isocratic elution with 60% CH3OH/40% H2O) showed the mixture to contain 85.7% of the desired 8-substituted isomer, of which a sample was purified by column chromatography (60-200 mesh silica gel, elution with CH2Cl2). The structures of the two isomers were confirmed by NMR. NMR (CDCl3) d 7.56 (1H, d), 7.11 (1H, d), 6.26 (1 h, d), 5.05-5.19 (2H, m), 3.84 (2H, m), 2.55-2.62 (2H, m), 2.43 (3H, d), 1.78-1.82 (2H, m), 1.01-1.09 (3H, t).
