Abstract: Objective: To efficiently synthesize the natural coumarin products Murraol and (E)-Suberenol in a single step, and
provide strong support for the synthesis of similar natural products. Methods: Using brominated coumarin as the starting material, the
natural coumarin products Murraol and (E)-Suberenol were synthesized by Heck coupling reaction catalyzed by transition metal
palladium. Results: The synthesis of both natural coumarin products Murraol and (E)-Suberenol were efficiently and straightforwardly
achieved. Conclusion: The synthetic method has the characteristics of simple operation, mild reaction conditions and atomic economy,
and is suitable for industrial production.

Key words: coumarin, transition metal palladium catalysis, Heck coupling reaction
