Abstract

A simple, efficient, and practical procedure for the Pechmann condensation using KAl(SO4)2 · 12H2O (alum) as a non-toxic, reusable, inexpensive, and easily available catalyst is described under solvent-free condition at 65°C. These improved reaction conditions allow the preparation of a wide variety of some new substituted coumarins in high yields (86–96%) and purity under mild reaction conditions. Compared to the classical Pechmann condensation, this new method consistently has the advantage of high yields.
