Chemical Conversion of a Coumarin Derivative Containing Arylhydrazono: Crystal Structures and Fluorescence Properties

An arylhydrazono-containing coumarin derivative(1) can undergo chemical conversions in two modes. When in the presence of Cu~(2+), a Cu~(2+)-promoted cyclization reaction was observed in aqueous acetonitrile and gives compound 2, while a ring-opening reaction occurs to give compound 3 in the absence of Cu~(2+).
