Chalcogenylation of 4-hydroxycoumarins and 4-hydroxyquinolinones in water at room temperature
Abstract
A mild and efficient iodine-promoted method has been developed for synthesizing 3-selenyl and 3-sulfenyl derivatives of 4-hydroxycoumarins and 4-hydroxyquinolinones in aqueous media at room temperature. The practicality of this approach was further validated by control experiments that support plausible reaction pathways and by its successful application to the synthesis of 3,3′-sulfenyl-bis-4-hydroxycoumarins.
