Coumarins represent an important group of natural products and a common part of various drugs and fluorescent dyestuffs. Herein, we present the synthesis of a coumarin that can serve as a key starting material in the design and synthesis of bioorthogonally applicable fluorogenic dyes. The synthesis of 7‐azido‐3‐formylcoumarin started from 7‐diallylaminocoumarin. This allyl protected aminocoumarin is otherwise hard to obtain by conventional methods but was conveniently accessed in good yields by a sequential, Wittig‐reaction–UV isomerization process. This sequential approach was studied in more details and applied for the synthesis of a series of substituted coumarins even in one‐pot.
