Coumarins: Fast Synthesis by Knoevenagel Condensation under Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

Condensation of salicyaldehyde or its derivatives with various derivatives of ethyl acetate in the presence of piperidine leads to the synthesis of coumarins by a solvent free reaction under microwave irradiation.
