Abstract

The present investigation provides a simple and convenient route to organic synthesis of substituted benzopyranocoumarin, which is important because it is a probable HIV protease inhibitor. The reaction of α,β-unsaturated derivatives of coumarins with catechol or 1,4-hydroquinones was catalyzed using laccase in an aqueous medium. Quinones, generated in situ by the oxidation of the corresponding catechol or 1,4-hydroquinones, underwent a domino reaction with chalcones to produce benzopyranocoumarins.

Notes

a Reaction conditions: 1 mmol 2 or 4 and 1.5 mmol of 1a were taken in 15 mL of buffer solution, and THF was added to dissolve the reactants; 0.5 mL of 30% H2O2 was added to the resultant solution and stirred well for 4 h.

b Yield refers to the isolated and unoptimized yield.
