This work aimed to synthesize novel azacoumestanes derived from 68 through the formation of C-N bound using bis-trifluoroacetoxy iodobenzene (PIFA) and to analyze the influence of conformational rigidity on the biological activity against leishmaniasis and breast cancer. In addition, this project aimed to synthesize 3-aryl-4-N-aryl-coumarins with oxygenation patterns in the A ring, and its derived azacoumestan. To obtention the 3-aryl-4-N-aryl-coumarins 27a-f, the first step consists of a condensation reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin 80 with different commercial anilines 70a-d with yields from 56 to 70 percent. The last step was an intramolecular oxidative amination, to obtain the azacoumestan 68a-f that were obtained with yields of 32 to 92 percent. To obtain 3-aryl-4-N-arylcoumarins with different oxygenation patterns, the synthetic route began with an acylation of different phenols 84, followed by a methylation and cyclization reaction to form oxygenated compounds derived from 4-hydroxy-coumarin 86a-c. Acylations were performed with yields from 77 to 95 percent, methylation of 84a with 80 percent and hydroxycoumarins 86a,c,d were successfully obtained, but it was not able to perform the condensation reaction. With these results, the investigation of a new route was carried out, which was based on oxidative Michael additions and decarboxylative arylations. It was possible to reproduce a decarboxylative arylation, in addition to performing the oxidative aza-Michael of interest with 22 percent yield in water at 65 oC. The synthesized azacoumestans 68a-c inactive against leishmaniasis, unlike the 3-aryl-4-N-aryl-coumarins intermediates, demonstrating the importance of conformational rigidity for biological activity. On the other hand, for breast anticancer activity, no significant changes were observed.
