Abstract

Abstract Image

A facile, convenient, efficient, and high yielding synthesis of a combinatorial library of 3-aroylcoumarins has been developed by the condensation of easily available α-aroylketene dithioacetals (AKDTAs) and 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes (salicylaldehydes)/2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine in THF reflux. The condensation of ferrocene derived α-aroylketene dithioacetal and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde furnished coumarin installed on a ferrocene platform.
