Research paper thumbnail of Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Homodimerization Mechanism of 3-Acetylcoumarin

Appropriate frequency and sound amplitude have been identified as significant variables for the initiation of the reaction. On the base of first principal calculations and experimental results, the mechanism of the reaction was investigated. The relative stability of the possible intermediates has been compared, including evaluation on the ionic and radical reaction pathways for the dimerization process. Theoretical results suggested that the radical mechanism is more favorable. The C-C bond formation between the calculated radical intermediates occurs spontaneously (∆G = −214 kJ/mol for ZnCl2, −163 kJ/mol in the case of Zn(OAc)2), which proves the possibility for the homodimerization of 3-acetylcoumarin via formation of radical species. Both experimental and theoretical data clarified the activ...

The structures possessing promising fluorescent properties were successfully synthesized via Suzuki and Sonogashira cross-coupling. The synthetic protocol was also applied for the phosphorous chemoisomer of 3-phosphonocoumarin, 1,2-benzoxaphosphorin, and their carboxylate analogues. The optical properties of the arylated and alkynylated products were experimentally determined. The obtained quantum-chemical and experimental results give the possibility for a fine tuning of the optical properties of phosphorous-containing coumarin systems by altering the substituent at its C-6 position.

Research paper thumbnail of Theoretical elucidation of the regioselectivity in a tandem 1,4-hydride addition/acylation of diethylphosphonocoumarin

Journal of Molecular Structure-Theochem, 2006

The computational results and comparison with experimental observations suggest that an important role for a successful acylation plays dimethylaminopyridine, which associates the Lewis acid BH 3 generated in the first step of the reaction. In the absence of this base, BH 3 could bind to the nucleophilic centers of the anionic intermediate adduct and thus suppress its further acylation, as found experimentally. The observed regioselectivity for C-acylation could be explained by the higher stability of C-acylated as compared to O-acylated product both in pyridine and THF, by 54-56 kJ/mol. In addition to preferential stabilization of the C-acylated product, the solvent was found to be important with its influence on the relative stability of different complexes with BH 3. The analysis of the charge distribution and contributions in the molecular orbitals of the intermediate also suggests a preference to acylation at the carbon instead of oxygen nucleophilic centre. In all studied species, the C atom bound directly to a phosphonate substituent carries large negative charge, above K0.50 e according to NBO analysis, which implies high nucleophilicity.

In order to avoid ring opening and to isolate only the product of the Michael addition reaction 3, the reaction was performed in the absence of a nucleophilic agent. In this case only, the product 3—a 2-oxochromane—was isolated. When the reaction was carried out in the presence of amines (Et3N, piperidine), a new product—1-hydroxy-4-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-3-yl-phosphonate 6—was formed by a new rearrangement reaction.[Supplemental materials are available for this article.
