Methods are reported for the efficient assembly of a series of phenol-derived propiolates, including the parent system 56, and their Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization (intramolecular hydroarylation) to give the corresponding coumarins (e.g., 1). Simple syntheses of natural products such as ayapin (144) and scoparone (145) have been realized by such means, and the first of these subject to single-crystal X-ray analysis. A related process is described for the conversion of propargyl ethers such as 156 into the isomeric 2H-chromene precocene I (159), a naturally occurring inhibitor of juvenile hormone biosynthesis.
Further studies of orientation effects in the Pechmann synthesis of coumarins

A study of orientation effects in the Pechmann synthesis with some meta-substituted phenols is presented. Variation of the reaction conditions with malic acid indicates that whilst the proportion of 5-chlorocoumarin diminishes at higher temperatures that of 5-methoxycoumarin increases, accompanied by cleavage of the ether function under certain conditions. Reactions with ethyl acetoacetate give only the 4,7-isomers. Peri-substituent effects in 1 H and 13C NMR spectroscopy have been used for product identification.

In boiling 1,2-dichloroethane 3-ethoxyacryloyl chloride (1) reacts with phenols 2 to yield 3-ethoxyacrylates 3, which by treatment with conc. sulfuric acid/10percent SO3 cyclize to give coumarins 9 in good yields.The methoxy-substituted compounds 3d and 3k do not react to coumarins 9 with H2SO4/SO3 but with POCl3/H2O at room temperature.
