Abstract

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 4-methyl coumarins via Pechmann condensation from phenols with acetoacetic esters using melamine formaldehyde resin (MFR) supported sulfuric acid as recyclable catalyst under microwave-accelerated solvent-free condition has been developed, with a yielding of 85-95 % respectively. Structures of the corresponding products were elucidated by infrared and 1H NMR spectra. This method is simple, requires short reaction times and environmentally benign compared with conventional acid catalyst.
