Abstract

Coumarins are a class of natural and synthetic products with a wide variety of applications in different fields. Due to the general importance of coumarins, the objective of this work is to further develop the chemistry of 1-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-chromen-3yl)ethanone, 1, a potentially useful and versatile coumarin but an under-reported compound in the literature. This work describes a green preparation of 1 in the absence of solvents and acids, thereby eliminating byproducts, normally obtained in classical procedures, and a mechanistic study of the reactions of 1 with nucleophiles. In addition, we report the characterisation of 1-(2-ethoxy-2-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethanone 2, via X-ray crystallography and 2D NMR spectra.

Keywords: Coumarin, green synthesis, X-ray crystallography, sonochemistry, free solvent, heterocycle.

Data were collected at 100(2)K with Cu-Ka radiation using an Rigaku Saturn 724+ (2x2 bin mode) diffractometer of the UK National Crystallographic Service, based at the University of Southampton. Data collection, data reduction and unit cell refinement were achieved with Crystal Clear-SM Expert 3.1 b27 [12a]. Correction for absorption was achieved by an empirical absorption correction using a CrysAlisPro 1.171.39.30d [12b]. The program MERCURY [12c] were used in the preparation of the Figures. SHELXL97 [12d] and PLATON [12e] were used in the calculation of molecular geometry. The structures were solved by direct methods using SHELXS-97 [12d] and fully refined by means of the program SHELXL-97. All hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions.
