“…Therefore, development and introduction of a convenient, efficient method for the synthesis of coumarin-fused pyrazolo[3,4- b ]pyridine is highly desirable for their immense pharmacological potential. As a part of our research on the synthesis of novel functionalized heterocyclic derivatives [40,41,42,43,44,45,46], in the current paper, we report a novel three-component domino reaction for the synthesis of functionalized coumarin-fused pyrazolo[3,4- b ]pyridine derivatives using silica sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It worth mentioning that participation of alcohols in construction of coumarin derivatives is described for the first time.…”
