Abstract

Coumarins have recently emerged as a hot topic of research due to their diverse pharmacological properties. This work described a method for the synthesis of 3,4-diunsubstituted coumarins promoted by polyphosphoric acid (PPA) from salicylaldehydes and acetic anhydride. Various coumarins were produced in good to excellent yields.
