Abstract
A facile iron-catalyzed decarboxylative radical coupling of alkyl diacyl peroxides with coumarins or chromones has been developed, affording a highly efficient approach to synthesize a variety of α-alkylated coumarins and β-alkylated chromones. The reaction proceeded smoothly without adding any ligand or additive and provided the corresponding products containing a wide scope of functional groups in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol was highlighted by its high regioselectivity, readily available starting materials, and operational simplicity.

- 13 General Procedure for the Synthesis of 3 or 5 (3aa as an Example) A 10 mL Schlenk tube was charged with coumarin (1a, 88 mg, 0.6mmol), LPO (2a, 477 mg, 1.2 mmol), Fe(OTf)3 (15 mg, 0.03 mmol), and dioxane (3.0 mL). The tube was evacuated and backfilled with N2 for three times. The mixture was then heated at 70 ℃ and stirred for 8 h. After the reaction finished, the reaction mixture was extracted with DCM (30 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel column (ethyl acetate/hexane, 1:80) to afford 3aa (149 mg, 83%) as a white solid. Compound 3aa: white solid; mp 59.6–60.3 ℃, 83% (149 mg). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.47 (s, 1 H), 7.45–7.42 (m, 2 H), 7.31 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.26 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 2.56 (t, J = 7.8 Hz, 2 H), 1.68–1.60 (m, 2 H), 1.39–1.25 (m, 16 H), 0.88 (t, J = 6.8 Hz, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 161.8, 153.1, 138.3, 130.4, 130.1, 127.1, 124.2, 119.6, 116.4, 31.9, 30.8, 29.63, 29.60, 29.56, 29.4, 29.3, 28.0, 22.7, 14.1.
