The diversity‐oriented organic synthesis of novel coumarin annulated tricyclic dioxocine, dioxacindione scaffolds with Z‐selectivity and the symmetrical pentacyclic coumarin macrocyclic derivatives is demonstrated from substituted hydroxyl coumarins via ring‐closing metathesis in the presence of Grubbs’ second‐generation catalyst as the facile and efficient route with excellent yields. This synthetic strategy provides a route for the intramolecular ring‐closing metathesis to access a library of novel tricyclic coumarin heterocycles and pentacyclic coumarin macrocycles having different ring systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
