Abstract

In this report, substituted coumarins are formed via Pechmann condensation using various substituted phenols and ethyl acetoacetates in the presence of xanthan sulfuric acid as a solid acid catalyst under solvent-free conditions. This method is very simple, cost-effective, and has shorter reaction times, and the catalyst could be reused. ...
