Reagents and conditions: Resorcinol was formylated with POCl3, DMF, acetonitrile, 0-5 °C, 2h; a) CH3COCH2COOC2H5, ethanol, reflux, 6 h; b) Me2SO4, K2CO3, DMF, H2O, 1 h c) 2methoxybenzaldehyde (ChC2), 3-methoxybenzaldehyde (ChC3), piperidine, CH2Cl2, reflux, 12 h. Resorcinol was formylated (Vilsmeier-Haack) giving 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (1),[1] which was subsequently condensed with ethyl acetoacetate (Henry-Knoevenagel) and cyclized in a single step to afford 3-acetyl-7-hydroxycoumarin (2). [´2] The 7-hydroxycoumarin obtained was methylated with methyl sulfate (3),4 and finally ChC2 and ChC3 were prepared by appropriate adaptations of a literature procedure.[3] The synthesis of 3-cinnamoyl-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (ChC1), was recently reported by us, [4] and analogous synthetic procedures were used for the preparation of ChC2 and ChC3.
