Abstract

A new approach to 3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-4-(2-oxoalkyl)-3,4-dihydrocoumarins by base promoted conjugate addition of enolizable ketones to 3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)coumarin is described. The resulting products were transformed into the corresponding α-methylene-δ-lactones. A transition state model rationalizing stereochemical outcome of the reaction is proposed.
