A fluorinated coumarin building block

As a synthesis intermediate for APIs


7-Fluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin (CAS number 2145-27-9) is a derivative of coumarin with hydroxyl and fluoride groups at the 4- and 7-positions. Coumarin has a structure consisting of a benzene ring fused with a 2-pyrone known as benzopyrone, which is commonly found in many plants. 7-Fluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin is thus an ideal candidate as a natural product substrate in organic synthesis. The 3-position of 7-fluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin can be functionalised with unsaturated 2-ketoesters catalysed by chiral bisoxazoline−copper(II) complexes. This asymmetric Michael reaction demonstrates good yield with up to 98% enantiomeric excess (ee).

7-Fluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin is applied in the synthesis of chromeno[4,3-b]pyridinone derivatives which exhibit anticancer, antibacterial and antimicrobial activity. This solvent-free reaction consists of three components including 7-fluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin, ammonium acetate and 3-formylchromone. The reaction is catalysed by l-proline.
