摘要
Methyl 3-(2-acyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propanoates (7), prepared in high yield from 7-methoxycoumarin are key intermediates in general and efficient syntheses of 6-acylcoumarins. Under standard Fries rearrangement conditions (7) undergo highly regioselective para-migration with aluminium chloride in nitromethane. The resulting C-acylated products (8) are converted into 6-acyl-7-methoxycoumarins (4). The scope and limitations of the rearrangement and the application to the total syntheses of the natural linear acylcoumarins, geijerin (4a) and dehydrogeijerin (4b), are described.
