A green and efficient one-pot three component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin or 1,3-dimethylbarbutyric acid, aryl glyoxals and amides (thioacetamide) has been developed in the presence of BF3- SiO2 nanoparticles in water. This method has several advantages such as high to excellent product yields in short reaction time, atom economy, environment friendly, reusable catalyst and no need for chroma...

Silica gel has been used for synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin and aryl aldehydes. The reaction conditions are completely in agreement with green chemistry principles including sing water as media and a recyclable and safe catalyst. This method is also simple and inexpensive and leads to high yield of products in short reaction times.

3,4-ِDihydropyrano[c]chromene derivatives were synthesized using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) as a highly efficient heterogenous solid acid catalyst via one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes with malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin in excellent yields.

A series of 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives connected by an amidic linker to the different amines were designed and synthesized as cholinesterase inhibitors. Most compounds showed remarkable inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Among them, N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)acetamide derivative 4r with IC50 value of 1.6 μM was the most potent compound ...

A green and efficient one-pot synthesis of benzylamino coumarin derivatives was conducted by a three-component condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin, cyclic secondary amine, and aromatic aldehyde in the presence of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) as a heterogeneous catalyst in water at room temperature. 

A homogeneous ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate doped with LiCl ([BMIm]BF4-LiCl) was found as catalyst solvents for the synthesis of dicoumarols by the condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aldehyde at 80 ˚C. In this field, several types of aromatic aldehyde, containing electron-withdrawing groups as well as electron-donating groups, were rapidly changed to the correspo...
