All sophisticated methods for direct determination of methanol require advanced instruments and high technical knowledge which preparing them is very expensive in none developed and developing countries. This work reports a simple and efficient qualitative technique for semi determination of methanol content in herbal distillates by a new modified chromotropic acid method. The technique is base...

Two highly efficient protocols for the production of bis-coumarins under solvent-free conditions have been introduced. The reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin (2 eq.) with arylaldehydes (1 eq.) using phthalimide-N-sulfonic acid (PhtSA) or isatin-N-sulfonic acid (IsSA), as solid-acid catalysts, afforded the mentioned compounds with good to excellent yields in short times.Briefly, we have introduced tw...

Pills of Mefenamic acid were  employed as effective catalysts in the three component reaction of aromatic  aldehydes,  malononitrile,  as  well  as  4-hydroxycoumarin  or  barbituric  acid  in  aqueous solution,  using  reflux  conditions  in  order  to  synthesize  derivatives  of  dihydropyrano[2,3-c]chromene and pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine, correspondingly. Among the benefits of this technique, ...
