要旨

A new route to substituted furocoumarins via copper-catalyzed cyclization between 4-hydroxycoumarins and ketoximes was developed. CuBr2 exhibited higher activity than other copper salts, affording the desired furocoumarins in high yields. The transformation proceeded readily in the absence of stoichiometric external oxidants. The significance of this synthetic strategy would be (1) the easily available starting materials; (2) low cost catalyst CuBr2; and (3) being without stoichiometric external oxidants. This protocol is complementary to previous approaches in the synthesis of substituted furocoumarins.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
