β-Formylation of an α-hydroxyanthraquinone is shown to be possible by way of thermally induced rearrangement of the allyl ether, migration of the olefinic bond, and ozonolysis.

8-Allylcoumarins are conveniently accessible through a microwave-promoted tandem Claisen rearrangement/Wittig olefination/cyclization sequence. They serve as a versatile platform for the annellation of five- to seven-membered rings using ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM). Furano-, pyrano-, oxepino- and azepinocoumarins were synthesized from the same set of precursors using Ru-catalyzed double bond isomerizations and RCM in a defined order. One class of products, pyrano[2,3-f]chromene-2,8-diones, were inaccessible through direct RCM of an acrylate, but became available from the analogous allyl ether via an assisted tandem catalytic RCM/allylic oxidation sequence.

Isotope distribution studies with anthranilic acid labelled by the Wilzbach method indicate that positions 3 and 5 have respectively 49.8% and 27.4% of the total activity, tritium incorporation thus tending to be highest at the most electronegative positions. In isopropanol the hydroxyl group contains approximately three times as much isotope as at any other hydrogen position, while tritiation of the secondary C-H is slightly more efficient than the primary C-H. In the tritiation of phenyl ally1 ether, the predominant process is polymerization after reasonable exposure time, little radiation-induced Claisen rearrangement or saturation of the double bond being observed. A free radical mechanism has been proposed to account for the above distributions which have also been compared with results obtained by catalytic exchange. From these model compounds the relative preparative applicability of the Wilzbach and catalytic techniques has been discussed.
