Abstract

Eleven (+/-)-5/6/7-acetoxy-4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarins have been synthesised in two steps starting from the coupling of cinnamic acid/substituted cinnamic acid with appropriate phenols, followed by acetylation in 50-83% overall yields. All hydroxy- and acetoxycoumarins were unambiguously identified on the basis of their spectral data. Candida antarctica lipase-catalysed deacetylation of these racemic acetoxydihydrocoumarins in dioxane occurred with moderate enantioselectivity. This is one of the rare examples of resolution using phenolic ester moiety as a remote handle for chiral recognition by a lipase. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
