P. Rodighiero et al., SYNTHESIS OF METHYL-DERIVATIVES OF LINEAR AND ANGULAR THIENOCOUMARINSAND THIOPYRANOCOUMARINS, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 35(4), 1998, pp. 847-852
New linear and angular thienocoumarins and thiopyranocoumarins were sy
nthesized. The key intermediates were appropriate methyl derivatives o
f 7-mercaptocoumarin, which were condensed with chloroketones or propa
rgyl chloride. Thioethers were cyclized under various conditions in or
der to determine which methods produced the best yields of the desired
thienocoumarins 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 27 and thiopyranocoumarin
s 28 and 29.
