Abstract

A series of isocoumarins were synthesized by a one-pot cyclization reaction with mandelic acids and internal alkynes as raw materials, [RuCl₂(p-cymene)]₂ as a catalyst, and Cu(OAc)₂·H₂O as an oxidant under reflux conditions in air. By using the established efficient and reliable reaction conditions, a range of substrates were explored, and it was found that both aromatic aldehydes and aromatic acids also reacted smoothly in this system to give moderate yields of the target products. Furthermore, the mandelic acids were shown to be converted into the corresponding benzoic acids as intermediates in the reaction.

Key words

The mixture was then cooled to r.t. and extracted with H₂O (20 mL) and CH₂Cl₂ (3 × 20 mL). The organic phase was collected, dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and concentrated in a rotary evaporator. The crude product was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, PE–EtOAc (20:1)] to give a white solid; yield: 63%. ¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 8.42 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.64 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.53 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.42 (d, J = 5.5 Hz, 3 H), 7.34 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 2 H), 7.29–7.18 (m, 6 H). ¹³C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 162.30, 150.94, 138.86, 134.67, 134.32, 132.92, 131.25, 129.57, 129.24, 129.09, 128.97, 128.15, 128.13, 127.88, 125.38, 120.45, 116.91.
