Abstract

The Pechmann reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarins with cyclohexanone and ethyl cyclopentanone-2-carboxylates affords 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[2]benzopyrano[4,3-c][1]benzopyran-5,12-diones and cyclopenta[3',4']pyrano-[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-4,11-diones. Dehydrogenation of the former yields [2]benzopyrano[4,3-c][1]benzopyran-5,12-diones. Alkaline hydrolysis of a typical compound Va affords 2-hydroxy-2'-carboxydeoxybenzoin which on boiling with acetic anhydride gives an isocoumarin derivative.
