The reactions of coumarin and 4-methylcoumarin with single-electron tr
ansfer reagent sodium naphthalenide have been investigated. Two diaste
reloisomeric products have been obtained in each case resulting from r
eductive dimerisation. The structure of these products have been estab
lished from spectral data.
