Abstract

A 30-membered library of coumarins has been synthesized in a microwave-assisted Pechmann reaction using neat trifluoroacetic acid both as an acidic reagent and a reaction medium. Alternatively, polymer-supported sulfonic acid Amberlyst-15 could also be employed to facilitate the formation of coumarins. The use of a specially-built microwave synthesizer with liquid handling tools rendered the automated synthesis of a coumarin library feasible.
