A new method for the preparation of derivatives of furocoumarin natural products is described. The 6(8)-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-4-yl)-7-hydroxycoumarins smoothly transform into 2-alkylthio angelicin and psoralen derivatives through base catalyzed thiadiazole ring cleavage and subsequent furan ring closure.
