Divergent Reactions of Coumarin- and 7-Azacoumarin-3-Carboxylic Acids with Azomethine Ylides: Spirocyclization and Ring Expansion
A series of new spiro-fused polycyclic systems has been synthesized via cascade reactions of 7-azacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid and coumarin-3-carboxylic acid derivatives with azomethine ylides generated in situ from L-proline or sarcosine and various carbonyl components (ninhydrin, aceanthrenequinone, isatin, and substit...
