Abstract

An efficient and green protocol for synthesis of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids is developed in good to high yields via a Knoevenagel-intramolecular cyclization cascade reaction of Meldrum’s acid with various ortho-hydroxyarylaldehydes. This reaction is catalyzed by a combination of KH2PO4 (10 mol%) and water (100 μL). Solvent-free, cheap and eco-friendly catalyst, clean reaction conditions, simple workup procedure and easy isolation are the best features in this process.
