A facile and practical approach for the synthesis of natural coumestans and derivatives starting from 2',4'-dihydroxyl-3-arylcoumarins has been developed. The process involved a seqential intramolecular dehydrogenation/oxa-Micheal reaction efficiently promoted by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene at 40 °C under metal- and ligand-free conditions with good functional group compatibility.
