Melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) is easily prepared by the reaction between melamine and neat chlorosulfonic acid at room temperature. This compound can be used as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of coumarins via von Pechmann condensation reaction under solvent-free conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
