Abstract

A phosphine-promoted intermolecular annulation reaction of functionalized 3-benzoyl coumarin with alkynone has been disclosed. This reaction was found to be highly dependent on the nucleophilicity of the phosphine. Two classes of coumarin-fused cyclopentanones were selectively afforded in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities under the mild reaction conditions.
