Cascade Wittig reaction-double Claisen and Cope rearrangements: one-pot synthesis of diprenylated coumarins gravelliferone, balsamiferone, and 6,8-diprenylumbelliferone

Abstract

A cascade Wittig reaction-double Claisen and Cope rearrangements has been employed for a one-pot synthesis of diprenylated coumarins gravelliferone, balsamiferone, and 6,8-diprenylumbelliferone from a common precursor 2,4-diprenyloxybenzaldehyde
