A variety of 2-hydroxy aldehydes on reaction with 3-butenoic acid afford in a one-pot reaction the corresponding 3-vinylcoumarins. As expected, extension of the delocalized π-electron system accomplished by Heck coupling reactions with aryl halides results in an increased fluorescence of the compounds whose applicability is yet to be established.
Coumarins, a common motif in a variety of naturally occurring compounds, have attracted intense interest in recent years due to their diverse pharmacological properties, namely as anticoagulant, antimicrobial, antibacterial, anticancer, anti-HIV and antioxidant.1 Moreover, these series of compounds rises to one of the most extensively investigated and commercially significant groups due to their outstanding opt...
