A reinvestigation of the claisen rearrangement of methyl γ-aryloxycrotonates a convenient synthesis of 3-ethylidenebenzofuran-2(3H)-ones
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and Claisen rearrangement of methyl γ-aryloxycrotonates have been investigated and a number of them have been successfully rearranged to a mixture of Z and E 3-ethylidenebenzofuran-2(3H)ones in refluxing ethylene glycol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal rearrangement of α-(aryloxy)methylacrylic acids: a facile synthesis of 3-methylcoumarins
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies in claisen rearrangement : Novel thermal transformation of α-aryloxymethylacrylic acids and their derivatives
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of α-Aryloxymethylacrylic acids and their derivatives has been revised on the basis of degradation studies, extensive spectral data and isolation of intermediates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new route to the synthesis of 3-methylenecoumarins-via Lewis acid catalyzed rearrangement of methyl α-aryloxymethylacrylates
TL;DR: Methylα-aryloxymethylacrylates as discussed by the authors have been found to rearrange to furnish the methylenecoumarins when refluxed in methylene chloride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of 3-substituted coumarins via sequential pericyclic transformations of δ-aryloxymethylacrylic acids and enophiles
TL;DR: In this paper, a new procedure for the synthesis of 3-functionally substituted coumarins via sequential Claisen and ene reactions of δ-aryloxymethylacrylic acids and anophiles has been developed.
