Abstract

A facile synthesis of coumarins from o-hydroxycarbonyl compounds and 1-diethylaminopropyne is described. The reaction takes place under very mild conditions, giving coumarins in 38-47% yield. The unwanted sideproducts, the (E)-isomers, produced more coumarins after treatment the reaction mixture with acid, thus bringing the overall yields to 68-84%.
