Abstract

Coumarins having a nitrogen-containing substituent in the 3-position are known to exhibit biological activity. For example, 3-nitrocoumarin inhibits phospholipase C in pathogenic yeasts Candida albicans [1]. This compound is prepared by hydrolysis of 3-nitro-2H- chromen-2-imine which is obtained by cyclocondensation of nitroacetonitrile with salicylaldehyde in the presence of methylamine [2]. The synthesis of 3-nitrocoumarin by ...
