Abstract—The high-yielding six-step synthesis of 7-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylchromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one 17 from commercially available
2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylacetophenone is described. Coumarin 17 constitutes a useful synthon for coumarin antibiotic synthesis. A new
methodology for oxazole formation applicable to 3-aminocoumarins has been developed, and a mechanistic rationalization is proposed.

1. Introduction
Novenamine 1is the glycosylated 3-aminocoumarinyl sub-
unit of novobiocin 2, a naturally occurring antimicrobial
agent that was first isolated in 1956 from several
Streptomyces species including S. spheroides and S. niveus
(Fig. 1).
1
Novobiocin, together with the structurally related coumarin
antibiotics, clorobiocin 3, and coumermycin A
1
4, show
potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including
methicillin-resistant strains of staphylococcus species
(Fig. 1).
2
The coumarin-containing antibiotics are powerful inhibitors
of DNA-gyrase, which is a type II topoisomerase and an
essential prokaryotic enzyme.
3
Since DNA-gyrase has no
counterpart in eukaryotes, it is a very attractive drug-target
for antibiotics. Recently, novobiocin has also been
identified as an antitumour agent in that it is an inhibitor
of the 90 kDa heat shock protein, Hsp90.
4,5
There are only two published total syntheses of the
coumarin moiety of novenamine, neither of which were
used in the coupling to noviose.

from 2-methylresorcinol and concerned the synthesis of
novobiocinic acid 7, with the aim of elucidating the
structure of the coumarin moiety.
6
The synthesis was very
low-yielding (!7%), with the 3-amino functionality being
introduced via reduction of the unstable nitroso intermediate
5to form the ammonium salt 6.
The second report, published in 1984, described a synthesis
from 2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylacetophenone, of two 3-acyl-
amino-4,7-dihydroxy-8-methylcoumarin derivatives
(Scheme 2) and their subsequent biological testing.
7
In
this instance, the introduction of the 3-amido functionality
involved preparation and reduction of the 3-phenylazo
derivative 8, followed by N-acylation of the resulting
ammonium salt 9.
Traditionally, the total syntheses of novenamine and its
derivatives have involved coupling the sugar moiety to 4-O-
protected-4,7-dihydroxy-8-methylcoumarin prior to the
introduction of the C-3 amino functionality thereby
necessitating further post-glycosylation steps.
8,9
In con-
templating a synthetic strategy towards novenamine, which
would minimize such post-glycosylation steps, it was noted
that a derivative of novenamine with the vicinal hydroxy-
amine protected as an oxazole 10 was formed and isolated
by Hinman et al. via cleavage of the amide bond in novo-
biocin 2with acetic anhydride and pyridine (Scheme 3).
10
Furthermore, Ueda et al. reported successful cleavage of the
oxazole of 10 using mildly acidic conditions, without
destruction of the glycosidic bond.
11
This therefore
prompted us to develop a novel synthesis of 3-amino-4,7-
dihydroxy-8-methyl coumarin with the 3-amino and
4-hydroxyl groups protected as an oxazole as in 17 (Fig. 2).
It was considered that this derivative would be a promising
coupling partner to the carbohydrate unit of novenamine,
noviose, which has been synthesized in our laboratories
recently.
12
2. Results and discussion
A retrosynthetic analysis of 17 revealed commercially
available 2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylacetophenone 11 to be an
appropriate starting material. The envisaged strategy
involved formation of the 4-hydroxycoumarin unit, intro-
duction of the 3-amino functionality via reduction of a nitro
group regioselectively installed at C-3, and finally oxazole
formation.
To this end, chemoselective benzylation of 2,4-dihydroxy-
3-methylacetophenone gave the 4-benzyloxy derivative 12
in 88% yield,
13
presumably as a result of the 4-hydroxyl
group being less sterically hindered than the 2-hydroxyl
group, as well as not being involved in hydrogen-bonding to
the acetyl oxygen (Scheme 4). The o-hydroxyacetophenone
derivative 12 was then converted directly into the
4-hydroxycoumarin 13 in 76% yield using diethyl carbonate
and sodium hydride, methodology first described by Barker
et al.
14
Nitration at the C-3 position with fuming nitric acid
in chloroform at room temperature,
15
furnished 14 in nearly
quantitative yield. The insolubility of 14 in a range of
standard solvents contributed to numerous failed attempts
to reduce the nitro functionality via the following reagents:

no yield given.
Scheme 2. Reagents and conditions: (i) Sodium dithionite, sodium acetate,

group to acetamide 15 could be achieved in a gratifyingly
high yield (86%) using zinc in refluxing acetic acid,
involving a slight modification of the method developed
by Okumura to reduce 4,7-dihydroxy-3-phenylazocoumarin
to the corresponding 3-acetamido-4,7-dihydroxy-
coumarin.
16
The work-up and product isolation of the
nitration and reduction steps simply involved filtration of
the solid from the cooled reaction medium and recrystalliza-
tion, making this strategy an attractive choice for the
introduction of an amino group at C-3.
Numerous methods are available for conversion of 3-amino-
4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives into the corresponding
oxazole including (i) heating 3-amino-4-hydroxycoumarin
as its hydrochloride with the appropriate carboxylic acid
in polyphosphoric acid for 3.5 h at 160–200 8C;
17
(ii) condensing 3-amino-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives
with aromatic aldehydes to yield the corresponding Schiff
bases which, by heating in nitrobenzene, undergo cycliza-
tion and H
2
elimination to afford the corresponding oxazole
derivatives
18
and (iii) heating 3-amino-4-hydroxycoumarin
derivatives with the appropriate anhydride in pyridine.
19
An
examination of these methods revealed that they invariably
require high temperatures, long reaction times and often
give unsatisfactory yields.
An alternative method was therefore investigated using
phosphorus oxychloride (POCl
3
) and pyridine in refluxing
tetrahydrofuran, which pleasingly converted acetamide 15
into its corresponding oxazole 16 in a Robinson–Gabriel-
type cyclodehydration reaction.
20
The reaction times were
typically between 5 and 10 min, with yields of greater than
85% following recrystallization. Evidence for the formation
of the oxazole was provided by the
1
H NMR spectrum of 16,
which revealed a downfield shift in one of the methyl
singlets from d
H
2.11 in 15 to 2.56 as well as the
disappearance of the amide proton. In the
13
C NMR of 16,
the oxazole carbon C-2 resonated at d
C
162.6 whereas the
carbonyl carbon of the acetamide 15 resonated at d
C
171.2,
revealing an upfield shift for this carbon in the oxazole
structure. The IR spectrum of 16 revealed the absence of a
signal in the NH region as well as the amide carbonyl bands,
a further indication that oxazole formation had taken place.
In a recent and independent study, Nicolaou et al. found that
pyridine-buffered POCl
3
was effective in converting
hindered ketoamides into oxazoles,
21
although their study
did not extend to the coumarin series or related structures.
The mechanism for the PCl
5
-promoted Robinson–Gabriel
cyclodehydration of ketoamides was determined by
Wassermann and Vinick in 1973 with the use of oxygen-
18 labelling. Their experiments established that the amide
oxygen is the one incorporated into the oxazole ring and that
the ketone carbonyl oxygen is expelled.
20
In keeping with
the Robinson–Gabriel mechanism, and in view of the
3-amido-4-hydroxycoumarin structure of 15 having its
‘ketone’ carbonyl already fixed as an enol in conjugation
with the coumarin carbonyl group, it seemed reasonable to
postulate a nucleophilic substitution mechanism via a
Michael addition/elimination sequence to account for
cyclization. It was also considered reasonable to postulate
prior activation of the enolic hydroxyl group as a superior
chlorophosphate leaving group, since this was in keeping
with the rapid reaction observed (5–10 min).
This activation step has been postulated by Meyers et al. in
the condensation of carboxylic acids with amino alcohols to
form oxazolines using Ph

the hydroxyl group, with subsequent displacement by the
amide carbonyl oxygen.
22
Our postulated mechanism is
depicted in Scheme 5.
Mechanistic studies were carried out by investigating the
cyclization of two model compounds 18 and 19 (Scheme 6).
The two substrates were chosen as having varying degrees
of electron-deficiency in their aromatic rings, so as to probe
the importance of this parameter, and the cyclization
conditions were kept the same as for 15. Neither structure
afforded an oxazole, highlighting the importance of a
strongly electron-withdrawing group to promote the
Michael-addition step. However, 19 did furnish a phosphate
derivative 20, derived by substitution of the dichlorophos-
phate intermediate with methanol. Dimethoxyphosphate
ester 19 could be isolated and characterized by
1
H,
13
C and
31
P NMR spectroscopy, lending support for formation of
a similar transient chlorophosphate in the mechanism
postulated in Scheme 5 for cyclization of 15.
Apart from Nicolaou’s work, only one other literature
analogy for the use of this reagent was found. This involved
conversion of methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-arylaminopro-
penoate 21 with phosphorus oxychloride and pyridine into
4-arylaminomethylene-2-phenyl-2-oxazolin-5-one 22
(Scheme 7).
23
The relatively few number of literature
analogies was confirmed by a recent review detailing the
synthesis of oxazole-containing natural products by Yeh in
2004.
24
In the final step, debenzylation of oxazole 16 furnished the
desired 7-hydroxycoumarin 17 in 74% yield (Scheme 4).
Compound 17 has been prepared previously by refluxing
3-acetamido-7-acetoxy-4-hydroxy-8-methylcoumarin, iso-
lated from novobiocin, in acetic anhydride followed by
acetate saponification but no NMR data was reported.
25
Accordingly, a full characterization of 17 was carried out,
which gave the anticipated NMR spectroscopic and
microanalytical information as reported in Section 4.
3. Conclusion
A protected coumarin fragment of novenamine has been
synthesized in only six steps from commercially available 2,
4-dihydroxy-3-methylacetophenone 11 and in 40% overall
yield. Only one of the six steps required an aqueous work-
up, and the purification of each product was achieved in
high yield by recrystallization, with no chromatography
being necessary. New methodology has been developed for
oxazole formation applicable to 3-aminocoumarins, provid-
ing a useful alternative protecting-group strategy in the
synthesis of coumarin antibiotics. Work is currently
underway to couple 17 to 3-O-carbamoyl-C-4-epi-noviose,
the C-4-epimer of 3-O-carbamoyl noviose.

4.1.6. Dimethyl (2-acetamido)phenyl phosphate (20).
2-Acetamidophenol (0.20 g, 1.32 mmol) was suspended in
THF (10 ml). Pyridine (0.43 ml, 5.29 mmol) and POCl
3
(0.25 ml, 2.65 mmol) were added and the mixture refluxed
for 1 h. Methanol was added and the reaction mixture was
refluxed for a further 20 min before being diluted with water
and the aqueous phase extracted with ethyl acetate (!1).
The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous
magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under reduced
pressure. The crude product (0.44 g) was purified by column
chromatography (10 g silica, 50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to
afford 20 (0.06 g, 18%) as colourless crystals: mp 65–67 8C;
