Coumarins are naturally occurring molecules that are found in plants that have numerous uses in the medical field because of its biological activity. The wide varieties of its uses include antibiotics, anticoagulants, and sometimes even used in the perfume industry.
SYNTHESIS
Synthesis of 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-phenylcoumarin from sesamol and ethyl phenylpropiolate using a Pd(OAc)2 catalyst to illustrate coumarin synthesis. This procedure is simple and easy and can be applied to the synthesis of other coumarins that have electron-rich phenol groups. The reaction is conducted by stirring a solution of Pd(OAc)2, sesamol and ethyl phenylpropiolate in trifluoroacetic acid at room temperature (15-20 degrees C) under atmospheric conditions.
