Cellulose sulfonic acid efficiently catalyzes the one-pot reaction of 4hydroxycoumarin and aryl aldehydes under mild reaction conditions to yield biscoumarin derivatives in high yields. This method is of great value because of its easy processing, short reaction time and high yields. We anticipate the present method will receive the attention of medicinal chemists and be used for elaborate synthesis and pharmaceutical screening of biscoumarin based molecules.
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.
