The reactions of α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones with activated dienes such as 1,3-dimethoxy-1-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-1,3-butadiene (Brassard's diene) are barely known in literature and show high potential for the synthesis of isocoumarin moieties. An in-depth investigation of this reaction proved a stepwise mechanism via the vinylogous Michael-products. Subsequent cyclisation and oxidation by LHMDS and DDQ, respectively, provided six mellein derivatives (30-84 %) and four angelicoin derivatives (40-7 ...[more]
