The superiority of aniline-pyridine as a solvent and catalyst combination for the condensation of malonic acid with o-and+ hydroxybenzaldehydes has been demonstrated. The use of aqueous sodium bisulfite for the decarboxylation of 3-carboxycoumarins has been shown to be of general application. Although methyl o-hydroxyeinnamate condenses with isoprene to form a pyrone in lowyield, o-hydroxy-and 2, 6-dihydroxycinnamic acids and themethyl ester of thelatter do not re-act with isoprene under conditions similar to those which are effective with the analogous compounds having inethoxy in place ofhydroxy groups. When thehydroxy groups are protected with acetal linkages, cither prepared from ethyl vinyl ether or dihydropyran, the addition of isoprene does not occur.The low reactivity of o-hydroxycinnamic acid or ester with isoprene in the Diels-Alder reaction has been observed by previous investigators2 in the field of natural products. An attempt has now been made to determine, if possible, conditions which might bring about the desired addition more satisfactorily and to observe the reactivity when the phenolic group or groups are blocked with acetal formation. A detailed study of the use of aniline2
