Abstract
3- and 4-Hydroxycoumarin (1 and 3) as well as 2-hydroxy-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ones 5a-f were reacted with KO2/18-crown-6 in benzene. Initial deprotonation of the enol hydrogen was followed by nucleophilic attack by O2{radical dot}/t- (for 1 and 3) and/or autoxidation of the resulting anion (for 1 and 5a-e). A convenient synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated-δ-valerolactones from the corresponding 2-cyclohexen-1-ones is also described.
