It. Bazyl et al., Reactions of ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2-methylchromone-3-carboxylate and 3-acetimidoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin with S-nucleophiles, RUSS CHEM B, 48(8), 1999, pp. 1537-1541
The reactions of ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2-methylchromone-3-carboxylate w
ith mercaptoacetic acid and 1,2-ethanedithiol afforded C(7)-substitution pr
oducts. The above-mentioned chromone reacted with 2-mercaptoethanol to yiel
d 7-mono- or 5,7,8-trisubstituted products depending on the reaction condit
ions. The reaction of 3-acetimidoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin w
ith 2-mercaptoethanol afforded a 5,7,8-trisubstituted product. The acyl-lac
tone rearrangement of mono- and trisubstituted chromones yielded the corres
ponding coumarins.
