Abstract

The synthesis of functionalized 2-oxo-2H-coumarin derivatives has been studied by a one-pot reaction of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde, ethyl 2-bromoacetate and triphenylphosphine in the presence of catalytic amount of triethyl amine in EtOAc, water or under solvent free conditions. We have found the best results obtained under solvent free condition.
